The Shon Coleman Tribute Fund has reached $17,490.55 -- it is the goal of the tribute fund to be at $20,000.00 by Sept. 4. The fund was created in honor of Coleman (pictured), the former Olive Branch Conquistador football standout who was diagnosed earlier this year with leukemia. The offensive lineman, who signed a football scholarship with Auburn University, is currently undergoing treatment for the disease and hopes to be able to start college next year.  The fund benefits the lives of the children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and families battling cancer from around the country.  (Photo by Jamie Mercer)
