CHARLOTTE, NC – The Charlotte 49ers announced today they will host a benefit exhibition basketball game versus Georgia on Friday, October 25th at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the game will go to the April 30th Remembrance Fund, managed by the UNC Charlotte Foundation. The Fund will support the memorial and remembrance efforts in response to the tragic shooting at UNC Charlotte on April 30, in which two students lost their lives and four others were injured.
"The idea to play this game resulted from conversations with athletics leaders at the University of Georgia," said Charlotte Director of Athletics Mike Hill.
