UNC Athletics will team up with the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and the V Foundation for Cancer Research to host the Dribble for Victory Over Cancer on campus for the third straight year in 2024. This year’s event is scheduled for September 8.

Registration and festivities are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at Carmichael Arena, with a welcome ceremony starting at 11 a.m. At 11:15, participants will dribble alongside UNC men’s and women’s basketball players from Carmichael to the Old Well, over to the Bell Tower and then back to Carmichael.

Proceeds from the event will support pediatric cancer research at the UNC Children’s Research Institute through the Dick Vitale Fund for Pediatric Cancer.

This is the 17th year schools across the country have hosted a Dribble for Victory, and the events have raised more than $2.5 million in the fight against pediatric cancer. UNC began participating in 2022.

“UNC Children’s is proud and honored to partner with the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and the V Foundation,” said Keela Lyon, Senior Executive Director of Development and Communications at UNC Children’s Hospital. “Kids with cancer need as much support as we can muster and this event has demonstrated that it can inspire the public to contribute to pediatric cancer research.”
