CHAPEL HILL – The University of North Carolina men's basketball program and head coach Roy Williams donated $23,400 to provide relief from hurricane Florence Friday evening at Late Night with Roy, the team's annual celebration to the start of the college basketball season.
Carolina donated $100 for each of 117 made baskets over a four-minute, 15-second shooting drill during Late Night.
The Tar Heels are donating $11,700 in proceeds from the team's sale of autographed basketballs. Williams and his wife, Wanda, are matching that with a $11,700 gift of their own. Fifty-percent of the combined proceeds will go to the University's Disaster Relief Fund and 50 percent will be directed to the Hurricane Florence Student Emergency Fund.
