March MEALness Challenge: Thank You For Helping Us Slam Dunk Hunger
Thank you for helping us slam dunk hunger!
We launched the March MEALness Challenge to raise food and funds for families facing food insecurity. We enlisted the help of North Carolina basketball stars who joined us for a friendly fundraising competition. Fans assigned their donation to their favorite player for a chance at winning the title of March MEALness Champion!
With your support, our March MEALness competition provided over 61,000 meals for local families!
With these meals, children can play their favorite sport after school. Parents don't have to worry if their child has enough food to get them through the day. Your giving expands access to after-school snacks, weekend backpacks, and family dinners. You might be investing in the next generation of basketball stars and tournament champions!
