The Nate Evans Love and Light Foundation
Nate Evans was a stranger to no one and a friend to everyone. He was a leader, a playmaker, and a creative spirit. He spoke out when he saw injustice, seeking peace for all. He saw the potential in others, believing they could do what they never thought possible.
At the age of 19, Nate became a victim of gun violence, stolen from this earth senselessly and tragically. To honor his life and carry his legacy forward, we formed the Nate Evans Love & Light Foundation.
We wish you could have known him.
“Blessings do not come to you...
Blessings flow through you”
