Carolina Announces Expanded Seats For Service Campaign
August 10, 2016 | Football
CHAPEL HILL --- After an overwhelming response to the program's initial announcement, the University of North Carolina has announced an expanded Seats For Service Campaign, an endeavor that allows Tar Heel fans a chance to those who serve our nations as well as our cities, towns and communities.
The Seats for Service Campaign is a way to show Carolina pride while also providing an opportunity to attend a UNC football game and witness firsthand the passion of what it means to be a Tar Heel. The Seats for Service campaign has expanded to include active service members, including the National Guard and Reserves, veterans, police officers, fire fighters, EMS providers and other first responders as well as children of fallen service members, police, fire and emergency responders.
“For several years Carolina Athletics has partnered with the University of North Carolina ROTC units and the Atlantic Coast Conference to honor service members as part of our Military Appreciation Day activities,” says Senior Associate Athletic Director Rick Steinbacher. "We've welcomed back to Kenan Stadium former Carolina student-athletes who have gone on to exemplary military careers as well as current students who are veterans and active duty service personnel. The Seats for Service campaign is a way for Carolina fans to provide memorable game day experiences for some of our bravest Tar Heels who serve us both and home and abroad."
For $10, you can sponsor special Tar Heel fans and their family members from local outposts in our state to attend a home game in beautiful Kenan Stadium!
There are three ways for individuals or companies to take part in the Seats for Service Campaign: purchase tickets HERE, call the Carolina Athletics Ticket Office at (919) 962 – 2296 or visit the Carolina Ticket Office (located at the Ernie Williamson Athletic Center) from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on weekdays.
