March MEALness Challenge: Let’s Dunk Hunger Together!
We’re running a full-court press on hunger.
Now through March 31, every dollar you designate for your favorite team helps them compete for the title of 2026 March MEALness champion!
With the help of three home-state stars, we launched the March MEALness challenge to help dunk hunger in a race to see which team’s fans can raise the most support for during the 2026 tournament.
So whether you're rocking red, navy, or Carolina blue, you can go head-to-head right now for your team and community. Join us and celebrate the biggest college basketball event of the year by making a difference today!

Our community is facing the greatest hunger crisis in a generation. Over 600,000 people in our region do not have enough food to eat. That's one out of every seven neighbors we run into at the grocery store, school, or the doctor’s office. Every dollar donated to the March MEALness challenge funds three meals for neighbors struggling to put food on the table right now.
Help carry your team — and our community — to a big win in 2026!
