The phrase "Carolina Family" is fairly common in the average Tar Heel fan's lexicon. It's an entirely real phenomenon – a special bond that refers to current and former student-athletes and the diehard fans who cheer them on.
For the past year, the global Carolina Family has come together to support The Rams Club's FORevHER Tar Heels initiative– an effort that has raised more than $70 million to date to support Carolina's 15 women's teams while building a mentoring program to connect women leaders with Tar Heel female student-athletes. Most recently, the Carolina Family came together again on February 3 to celebrate National Girls & Women in Sports Day in support of FORevHER Tar Heels.
