David Shannon Run this Saturday! Register today.
Please help us remember David Shannon and his family by participating in the 5th Annual David Shannon 5K and 1-mile Fun Run at Myers Park High School on
Dec. 17th
. There will be music, entertainment, food, and more. All proceeds will go to two scholarships created in David's name. Click
here to register and get your David Shannon Run T-shirt.
In 2012, the Charlotte community lost a wonderful soul in David Shannon. David was an all-around good hearted young man and was in his first year at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill when he unexpectedly lost his life. David was everything you would want your son to be; an outstanding scholar who was involved in multiple high school clubs, a three-sport varsity athlete at Myers Park High School, and a
Sunday
school teacher, youth leader, and summer camp counselor at Carmel Baptist Church. David brightened the lives of everyone he met.
