MATTHEWS, NC — It’s time to Lace Up, Son! Former Carolina Panther Steve Smith hosted his inaugural 5K Monday morning in Matthews. Wilson from Rising joined him to kick off the run which benefits the Siskey YMCA.
Smith says even though he’s now a Baltimore Raven, he’s still committed to helping people in the Carolinas. “Yeah, it is my home, and you know, football is football, but family is family. So the family lives, we live here, and we’re going to serve here,” he said.
After the run, Smith hosted a pancake breakfast and Memorial Day celebration including a recognition of women in the military.
