Lucas: For The Kids

Carolina's junior class is having a breakout season on the court. Which is good, because they probably don't have a future on The Price is Right.

The Tar Heels made their annual holiday shopping trip on Wednesday, using funds they generated with the sale of autographed basketballs. This year's shopping benefited the Me Fine Foundation, a local group that directly assists families whose children are hospitalized at UNC and Duke Hospitals.

As executive director Joey Powell told the team in a moving speech before the shopping began, Me Fine assists with the cost of being treated—which means everything except medical bills.
