THE ONES WE LOVE NEVER GO AWAY,
THEY WALK BESIDE US EVEN ON THIS DAY.
UNSEEN, UNHEARD, YET ALWAYS NEAR.
STILL LOVED, STILL MISSED,
AND VERY DEAR.

Growing up in Memphis came with many challenges. In the midst of it all, I had an entire “village” to guide, aid and support my success. Memphis Challenge was an integral part of my village. My mother, Sharon Donelson, often spoke with fondness and gratitude for all that Memphis Challenge did for me. As my family and I mourn the loss of my mother, it is only fitting that we honor this organization in her name.
