On March 25, 2017, our family changed forever when father and son, Chris and Cody Gragg, were killed in a tragic accident. Following their deaths, people began giving donations in their memory. Touched by this generosity, we established a non-profit organization in honor of Chris & Cody with a dedicated focus to support local children and families.  By participating in the Carolina Sweetheart 5K, named for Chris’ favorite tree the “Carolina Sweetheart”, you help us keep their memories alive and give back to the community at the same time.
