Angels of '97 Memorial Scholarship Organization
This site is dedicated to five students that graduated in 1997 from North Meck High School in Spirit only: Laura Barnette, Travis A. Childers, Calvin Keziah, Mandi Meador and Kancham R. Potts.
Angels of ’97 began in 1997 to honor the lives of five students who graduated in spirit only from the North Mecklenburg Class of ’97. Angels of ’97 has grown in the past years to provide nearly $450,000 to local High School students to assist with higher education. The organization has expanded over the years to outreach to other families in our community that have suffered the loss of a child or sibling.
Additionally, Angels of ’97 has received 501(c)3 status.
Purpose and Mission Statements:
This Faith Based volunteer organization fulfills its overall purpose with three fundraisers and a support group.
Every 3rd Saturday in March is the Spaghetti Dinner & Auction. The first annual was held in 1997 at NorthMecklenburg High School. 2011 also marked the beginning of the Angels 5K Event.
The First Annual Captain's Choice Golf Tournament, "Puttin' Fore a Purpose" was held on Aug 20th of 2004. Each year, the five Angels of '97 and other area children are honored at each hole with a hole dedication sign designed by parents and loved ones.
September 23rd 2004 marked the beginning of a new, year round Support Group for parents who have lost children known as the Angels of 97 Ministries. The group meets in the North Mecklenburg area. The first candle light memorial service was held on Dec 3rd, 2004.
