It’s felt by the University as Endowed Scholarship Dinner REINFORCES MESSAGE OF OPPORTUNITY
The following is an excerpt from Men’s Basketball player Shea Rush’s comments about his Carolina Athletic experience (shared at the 2019 fall scholarship dinner) I’d love to be able to share about my experience here. People throw around the words “life changing” so casually as in “That steak at (whatever restaurant) was “life changing”. But playing basketball at UNC, THAT is “life changing”. And I'm sure that everyone who has represented Carolina in any sport feels the same way. Being a Tar Heel extends beyond ANYTHING that I could’ve imagined. Being a Tar Heel is not being typical. Everything about being a Tar Heel is different. It’s smarter; it's harder; it’s kinder; it's more rewarding; it's more inclusive and it's more generous. For all that it is, it is certainly not typical. For me, it’s extraordinary. Every student-athlete here, knows the power of playing together. We can only win as a team. And until I came here, I never really knew what it felt like to have the power of others, such as The Rams Club, behind me. As players, we don’t always get the chance to say this, maybe on senior night, but we know that everyone in the Rams Club is an impact player on our team. Unfortunately, we can't win all the time, but we can never win at all without you. Basketball at UNC has brought me life changing opportunities, bigger than any I could've imagined. For example, I'm an only child and now I have 16 brothers sitting before me that I would do anything for. I also found my work passion. I've been interested in business since my 13th birthday. My family gave me a book on investing and in college I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to be mentored by this amazing community and found a direction. I want to be able to help people, especially young professional athletes, to have financial literacy to manage their money so that their families and they can be secure, but most of all so they can invest in their communities just as you all have in us. Basketball has helped show me a path forward and as you heard I'm proud that I will be an advisor for Merrill Lynch next year so I can continue to pursue my goal. But one lesson that I've learned from playing basketball here is really the foundation for everything else and it is this…when you think you can’t do anymore, you actually can. Our training is BRUTAL! We just finished preseason conditioning and a lot of the guys were falling out including me; we were all struggling. But why do we do this? Why are we pushed to the absolute limit? Yes, to be in shape, but even more, to build mental muscle. Coach wants us to know that when we think we are at our limit, we can go just a little bit more. This is the single most important lesson in athletics. I know now that when I think I've done the most that I can, I can actually do just a little bit more. I can push past what once seemed like my limit. I plan to carry that lesson into every aspect of my life. And I'm sure that all of you have learned yourselves in your own endeavors, that same thing. For your sake I hope you didn't learn it running hills in 100-degree weather in Chapel Hill! But you wouldn't be here tonight if you didn't know how to push yourselves to reach a little further in the things you do. You certainly reach further for us players and for the program and for the University. And we are so grateful for your enthusiasm and your generosity that stretches for us. I'm so glad to be invited here tonight so I can say this to you in person. You are helping make my dreams and the dreams of all student-athletes here come true. So, thank you. I’m proud to be a Tar Heel. And I’m thankful that you all are too.

Dear Legacy Donors,
As I thought about what our scholarship donors do, I kept coming back to the word opportunity. I truly believe that opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves, an opportunity to be a part of the Carolina Athletics the best student-athletes in the country are wearing Carolina Blue. And they are here because they were given an Family. That opportunity begins with a scholarship.
and talents earned them the chance to be a Tar Heel, but the generosity of our donors, especially legacy donors like you, The Carolina experience is made possible for our student-athletes because of people just like you. Yes, their hard work provided the means to make that happen.
As most of you know, The Educational Foundation has been funding scholarships for a long time, more than eighty-one hopes of one day fully funding all athletic scholarships. Today, that challenge still remains. years in fact. Over 50 years ago, our leadership had the foresight to create a scholarship endowment trust with the As legacy donors, you are the foundation upon which the success of Carolina Athletics has been built. What you do
changes lives and it creates pathways for bright futures. And as Coach Mack Brown has said, “It’s not a four-year decision, it’s a 40-year decision.” When a student-athlete decides to attend The University of North Carolina, what our donors do doesn’t just impact them while they are here on campus, but for their lifetimes. I understand that first-hand. As someone whose life was changed in such an amazing way because of your generosity, I personally want to thank you for the opportunities I have been given, and encourage you to do all you can to make sure all those who want to know what it’s like to wear Carolina Blue, have the chance to do so.
As you are hopefully aware, this past year we saw the opening of four new facilities in which our student-athletes their incredible successes. The mission of the initiative, appropriately named FORevHER Tar Heels, is to build and compete and last month we launched an exciting new initiative to champion our female student-athletes and celebrate
inspire a Carolina Community that champions and empowers our women student-athletes. It is one of the first of its kind in the country, building upon Carolina’s legacy as a pioneer in women’s athletics.
Since offering the first athletic scholarship to a female student-athlete in the ACC in 1974, Carolina’s women’s programs forevhertarheels.com to learn about the many ways you can be involved in the development have won 35 national team championships and our Tar Heel women have won 31 individual collegiate national titles. I encourage you to visit of our women student-athletes, including scholarship support, and help provide the opportunities that will launch our women student-athletes into the world and into meaningful and successful careers.
