Behind every scholarship awarded, research breakthrough advanced and patient served is a network of people working together to connect donors’ passions with Carolina’s highest priorities. “Achieving one of the strongest fundraising years in Carolina’s history is a testament to the talent, commitment and collaboration of our development teams across the University,” said Michael Andreasen, vice chancellor for development. That coordinated approach, combined with the continued confidence of Carolina’s philanthropic community, has contributed to significant fundraising growth over the past two years. Philanthropic support is strengthening Carolina’s national runner-up baseball program by enhancing student-athlete development through investments in training, nutrition, technology and championship-level resources. More than 50,000 donors partnered with Carolina during the year, demonstrating the extraordinary breadth of philanthropic support for the University’s mission.
