The Carolina-Duke rivalry is always intense on the court. But off the court, star players from both teams are joining forces for a great cause.

Inside Carolina’s Joey Powell is also the executive director of the Me Fine Foundation, which provides financial and emotional support to families with children receiving care at local hospitals. They’ve recruited UNC’s Armando Bacot and Duke’s Jeremy Roach for a fundraising drive called Me Fine Madness, encouraging Tar Heel fans and Blue Devil fans to see how much each side can raise for the effort. (Anyone who donates $100 or more will get a mini-basketball signed by one of the players.)
