The UNC football team is joining in on the “Save the Fox” campaign aimed at helping Superior Court Judge Carl Fox.

Fox is a UNC alumnus who was diagnosed in April with cancer where the bone marrow fails to make enough healthy blood cells.

Thousands of community members have participated in bone marrow drives to register new donors into the bone marrow database, hoping to find a donor match for Fox. After football practice on Tuesday, more than 70 Carolina players and coaches voluntarily participated in the registration process, according to the university.

Coach Larry Fedora said in his weekly radio show on Tuesday night, “The football program is always looking to help in our community and this is a great opportunity to assist someone who not only went to the University of North Carolina as an undergrad, but also got his law degree from UNC and has served our state for more than 30 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carol as he battles this disease.”

A release from goheels.com says other registration drives have been organized. On Friday, fans at the UNC volleyball match vs. Virginia can register in the lobby of Carmichael Arena with Delete Blood Cancer. This is the annual “Turn it Pink” match to honor all cancer survivors. The match starts at six o’clock. Then, on Saturday evening, a Delete Blood Cancer registry table will be set up at the men’s soccer game at Fetzer Field at seven o’clock. Finally, next Saturday, October 17, a Delete Blood Caner registry table will be set up for fan participation in Tar Heel Town before the football game against Wake Forest. UNC says a registration table will also be available on the Kenan Stadium concourse.
