In 2011, eight former college classmates and student-athletes came together in Boston to celebrate something at the core of their friendship: the power of team. On Mother’s Day of 2011, this group of friends launched Team IMPACT — now a national nonprofit that connects children with serious illnesses or disabilities with college athletic teams.
One year later, then new athletics director Bubba Cunningham spearheaded a strategic plan for University of North Carolina Athletics with the mission statement that read “We educate and inspire through athletics.”
In 2014, beginning with the Diamond Heels baseball team, UNC Athletics partnered with Team IMPACT, and the results have been truly inspiring.
