This GiveUNC, there are three ways you can support over 700 talented student-athletes who proudly represent Carolina – a gift to The Rams Club, the Carolina Athletics Excellence Fund, or individual Team Support.
You can make a gift to The Rams Club for broad-based student-athlete support, the Excellence Fund to provide Carolina Athletics with the financial flexibility required to meet the challenges today and in the future, or to your favorite team to provide crucial resources needed to maintain the Carolina tradition of excellence.
Please note that a Rams Club membership is not required to support Carolina Athletics through any of the three initiatives above.
*Gifts made through the ramsclub.com site are reported on periodically throughout the day, with the final total raised announced following the conclusion of GiveUNC. Please check back to see how your contribution impacted Carolina Athletics fundraising and challenge gifts!
