"We are beyond thrilled to be hosting our 4th Annual Easy On 30A Benefit Concert in WaterColor. What started out as a small event for friends and family has turned into an amazing community affair with over 1000 attendees and thousands of dollars raised for our charities. We are not at all surprised that 30A has once again rallied together to support their very own, and we are humbled and grateful to all of you making this happen again this year with us," said Beth and Randy Carroll, founders of Easy on 30A. 
 
Easy on 30A is an independent, nonprofit organization located on scenic 30A that works together with local communities, organizations and musicians to put together the annual benefit concerts that support local charitable organizations. Locals Beth & Randy Carroll founded the organization four years ago with an idea of bringing musicians together to highlight the great talent along 30A and to bring community awareness to charities in the area. 
 
Easy On 30A is presented by the WaterColor Homeowners Association, which graciously allows the use of Marina Park in WaterColor to bring this free concert to WaterColor owners, area residents and visitors to the 30A community. Easy On 30A works together with the WaterColor Community and WaterColor Resort to bring this fun charity event to fruition during one of the busiest weeks of the summer.

Easy On 30A to benefit the following local organizations:

 
Alaqua Animal Refuge – an independent, nonprofitorganization located on Florida’s Emerald Coast – advocates the generalwelfare and humane treatment of animals by providing shelter, prevention of pet overpopulation and adoption services. Located on 10 acres in Freeport, the refuge was formed by Walton County, Florida resident Laurie Hood in 2007 when she discovered that countless animals were being euthanized due to the lack of a no-kill shelter/adoption organization in the area. Since that time, Alaqua Animal Refuge has helped find homes for more than 9,000 animals. Currently, up to 100 animals are adopted per month from this unique rescue facility, which serves as a true refuge for more than 250 animals at any given time.
