Tar Heels Help Make The Holidays Merry

Related Topics: Toy

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Tar Heels teamed up this month to bring holiday cheer to local kids. Through the Orange County Social Services’ Share Your Holidays program, UNC teams sponsored a total of 34 children and teens, providing toys and other gifts.

Student-athletes gathered donations from team members and coaches then shopped for their “adopted” kids, based on wish lists that had been provided by the recipients. On Dec. 10, a group of Tar Heels delivered the gifts to the Orange County Social Services collection site. From there, the gifts were sent out to help make the season merrier.
