The Aaron J. White Foundation
Donation protected
Aaron James White was born on July 9, 1997 in Cleveland, Ohio. When Aaron was 8, the White family decided to make a life change and relocated to Huntersville, NC where Aaron was able to grow into a sociable, lovable, and responsible young man. Aaron was known for having the ability to light up a room with his smile and charm. He was always willing to help those in need, and putting a smile on everyone's face was his main priority.
After graduating from Hopewell High School in 2015, Aaron went on to study Communications and Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. On May 17th, 2018, Aaron was diagnosed with a Grade 3/malignant Astrocytoma tumor. It is rare for this tumor to be found in someone so young. On June 12, 2018 at 7:26 PM, Aaron passed away in Wake Forest, NC surrounded by his family and many loved ones. He is survived by his mother, Kim, his father, Andre’ Sr., and his brother, Andre’ Jr.
The Aaron J. White Foundation was established to preserve Aaron’s memory and benefit the communities he loved. All proceeds from this fundraiser will aid in establishing a scholarship in Aaron’s name that will benefit UNCG students. The 1st Annual "Run for Aaron" 5K will be held in Greensboro, NC in July, 2019, and will lead to the “Aaron J. White Scholarship Dinner”where the awards will be given out.
Aaron, we love you.
