Team North Carolina has now won $192,500 all-time from charity golf event

Atlanta (May 9, 2018) – North Carolina Head Football Coach Larry Fedora and Head Basketball Coach Roy Williams earned $35,000 in scholarship and charity from the 2018 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament, raising Team North Carolina’s all-time winnings from the event to $192,500 . The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl will split Team North Carolina’s $35,000 equally between UNC Children's Hospital and an endowed scholarship at the University of North Carolina.

As a top-tier academic medical center, UNC Children's Hospital upholds a four-tiered mission to "CARE," aligning clinical care, advocacy, research and education to deliver world-class family-centered care—always regardless of a family's ability to pay. The hospital has nearly 200 physicians with expertise spanning nearly 50 programs in 20 clinical departments, including 14 divisions in the UNC Department of Pediatrics. They are joined by more than 1,800 clinical and ancillary staff, all dedicated to providing exemplary, compassionate care to thousands of children each year.

The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge is the country’s premier head coach and celebrity charity golf event featuring NCAA head coaches and former athletes and celebrities from the same school competing against their rivals, all for scholarship and charity.

Following its mission to support scholarship and charity at all levels, Peach Bowl, Inc. through its Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge will pay out a total of $650,000 to its 11 participating teams this year, with the winnings being split evenly between a charity or foundation of the coach’s choice and an endowed scholarship at each university.

In addition to the $650,000 charity and scholarship purse, another $157,500 was generated for charitable organizations bringing the 2018 total to $807,500 in charitable giving. Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $7.6 million in scholarship and charity, helping make the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl college football’s most charitable bowl game. The Bowl leads all other bowl game organizations in charitable and scholarship contributions, giving $30.3 million to organizations in need since 2002.
