Carolina basketball fans notice every move Head Coach Roy Williams '72, '73 (M.A.T.) makes — from donning retro Air Jordans in a game against Duke to uttering his latest "Roy-ism" to dancing in the locker room after a hard-won victory.
But Coach Williams' followers may not know about the many generous donations he and Wanda Williams '72 have made to scholarship programs and non-revenue sports over the years. That includes the couple's $600,000 gift that funded scholarships for spring-sports seniors whose seasons were cut short by the pandemic.
For the most part, the Williamses have preferred to keep their philanthropic endeavors quiet, to support without fanfare the people and programs they hold dear.
