Carolina Kindness: 27 UNC Students Volunteer to Turn Tar Heel Sports Dreams into Reality for Children with Life-Altering Conditions

Chapel Hill, NC — June 26, 2025

In a powerful display of compassion and community spirit, 27 University of North Carolina students have banded together to launch “Heels of Hope,” a student-led initiative that helps children facing life-altering medical conditions experience the magic of Tar Heel sports up close.

Over the past three months, the group has volunteered more than 800 collective hours and raised over $42,000 to fund sports-themed dream experiences for children across North Carolina. These once-in-a-lifetime moments include attending UNC basketball games at the Dean Dome, meeting Tar Heel athletes, personalized jerseys, and behind-the-scenes tours of athletic facilities.

The project began when senior communications major Jordan Ellis, whose younger cousin was recently diagnosed with a rare neuromuscular disorder, realized how powerful sports could be in lifting a child’s spirit. “My cousin lit up just watching the Tar Heels play on TV,” Ellis said. “I thought—what if we could take that joy and multiply it?”UNC Dream Team Grants Child's Basketball Wish - University of North Carolina  Athletics

He pitched the idea in a student volunteer forum, and within a week, 26 others joined, forming the founding team of “Heels of Hope.” Drawing on their skills in event planning, digital marketing, and community outreach, the group began building partnerships with local businesses, UNC Athletics, and Chapel Hill hospitals.

One of their first participants, 9-year-old Ava Martinez from Durham, who lives with congenital heart disease, received the red-carpet treatment at a UNC women’s soccer game. “Meeting the players and leading the team onto the field made her feel like she was the star,” said Ava’s mother through tears. “We haven’t seen her smile like that in months.”

The students fundraised through creative events, including a “3-Point Pledge” campaign, where donors gave money for every three-pointer scored by the Tar Heels, and a 5K fun run around campus. They also secured support from several alumni, including former Tar Heel and NBA player Harrison Barnes, who contributed a signed jersey for auction.

Each experience is carefully tailored. “It’s not just about giving them a seat at a game,” said volunteer coordinator Priya Desai. “It’s about making them feel like part of the Carolina family.”

UNC Athletics has embraced the project wholeheartedly. Coaches and athletes have taken time out of their busy schedules to meet the children, pose for photos, and send personalized video messages. “These students are showing what the Carolina spirit is really about,” said UNC head football coach Mack Brown.

The team plans to expand Heels of Hope statewide by next year, with the goal of reaching at least 100 children annually. “We’ve seen how much a moment of joy can mean,” Ellis said. “These kids are our heroes, and we just want to give something back.”

As the summer progresses, the group is already planning their next big event—a “Tar Heel Dream Day” festival on campus featuring interactive sports games, a pep rally, and surprise athlete appearances.

In a world often marked by division and challenge, these 27 students are proving that with teamwork, heart, and a little Carolina blue, dreams really can come true.
