The Jenny Melton Foundation was established in memory of Butch Melton's (with Freeman) daughter.  Jenny Melton, a West Hall High School senior who loved school and loved running on the track and cross country teams. She was in Beta Club and Spanish Club. She was the 2002 Homecoming queen and was anxiously awaiting to see if she she had been accepted to Duke University.

Tragically, Jenny was killed in a single car accident on her way to school March 19, 2002 .  Jenny's death dealt a stunning blow to the community of Hall County and brought a community to a stand still for almost 3 days.

Jenny's legacy lives on through the Jenny Melton Foundation. The foundation keeps Jenny's memory working to help others do what she so wanted....to attend college!
