This year, we aim to make it even bigger and better!

Eliza J. Norton Foundation Hosts Talk with Holocaust Survivor Kati Preston
Monday, December 11
6:30 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.
Wayland Middle School Auditorium
The Eliza J. Norton Foundation is hosting a talk with Kati Preston - an author, Holocaust survivor, and activist for tolerance and anti- bullying. Kati has shared her story of survival with countless school children throughout New England. Her talk invites her audience to take a journey through history as she recounts the details of her early childhood in Nazi-occupied Hungary. Her lasting message is to never underestimate the power of one. She reminds kids of the power they possess to do the right thing and the importance of acting with compassion to fight against hate and prejudice.
This talk is appropriate for middle and high school aged community members. Space is limited so please REGISTER HERE.
On October 1st, more than 1,000 people gathered at Cochituate Fields in Wayland, MA for our Celebrate with Heart event. Meant as a thank you from the Norton Family and the EJN Foundation for all the incredible support they received over the past year, kids and adults of all ages bounced, sang, played, and competed together. It was a beautiful day, run by an army of volunteers, High School students, sports teams, and local businesses came together to celebrate. We were honored to be joined by Mikey V from KISS 108 who volunteered his time, energy and enthusiasm to get the crowd going.
“Eliza would have loved this day. Eliza's Celebrate with Heart was a thank you from our family to you for the endless support we have received this past year. It is also a reminder of who you and we are as a community. The gift Eliza gave us, was all of you.” - Mark Norton, Co-Chair, EJN Foundation.
