Colin Shaver, a 13 year old from Charlotte, took advantage of his neighborhood’s proximity to the PGA Championship Golf Tournament to raise funds for AHA. Colin set out to raise $1,000 in memory of his grandfather who passed away in 2013.
Colin and his siblings bypassed their goal of $1,000 and were able to raise 
$2,300 that they presented to the Charlotte Office staff in August.
