CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The UNC men's and women's basketball teams spend lots of time dribbling, but Sunday morning that basic skill took on new meaning. The Tar Heels joined fellow Carolina squads and community members for the school's first Dribble for Victory Over Campus event, raising funds for pediatric cancer research.
Hundreds of Tar Heels gathered at Carmichael Arena for an opening ceremony then – after a send-off from the UNC band and cheerleaders – dribbled through campus, past the Old Well and Bell Tower, before meeting back at Carmichael to honor top fundraisers.
Proceeds from the event will bolster pediatric cancer research being conducted at the UNC Children's Research Institute through the Dick Vitale Fund for Pediatric Cancer, a specialized grant fund at the V Foundation.
