Local nonprofit group Angels of ’97 has added a new item to its annual spaghetti dinner menu: a 5K run.

The group, founded in memory of North Meck will host its 15th dinner and the inaugural 5K run on Saturday, March, 19. Also planned is a shorter “Fun Run” for children and families, around the North Mecklenburg High School track.

Five students from the North Mecklenburg High School class of 1997 died during their high school years, prompting community members Charles Guignard, Jane Bolton and Sherry Harkey to found the 501(c)3 nonprofit in their memory. The group raises funds to support area high school students as they pursue higher education. Read the full story
