The Angels of ‘97 will host a 5-kilometer race and fun run on Saturday, March 19, at 9 a.m. at North Mecklenburg High School. The event is to race funds and awareness for the Angels of ‘97 charity, which began in 1997 to honor the lives of five students who “graduated in spirit only from the North Mecklenburg Class of ’97.” The Angels of ’97 has provided nearly $200,000 to local high school students to assist with higher education.
