Before the Nov. 1 home match against Denver Summit FC, the North Carolina Courage presented its Community Impact donation for the 2026 season. 🎉 NC Courage President Francie Gottsegen presented the check worth $37,500 to UWNC President and CEO Brittany Pruitt Fletcher, in which 100% of the funds will be used to support ALICE families across North Carolina through UWNC's NC 211 information and referral program. 📲 Every fan who attended a home match, bid in the silent auction, played in the golf tournament, or simply donated on NCCourage.com -- This is what commitment and dedication to helping communities can look like when we come together on and off the pitch. ⚽💙 Thank you to all who made this donation possible and to NC Courage for being an incredibly supportive partner that wants to help communities thrive just as much as United Ways do. 🙌 To learn more about NC Courage, ALICE, and NC 211, visit https://www.unitedwaync.org/news/nc-courage-raises-funds-support-alice-families-through-united-way #NCCourage #CourageCountry #Roary #Partnership #CommunityImpact #ALICE #UnitedForALICE #NC211 #Team211 #UnitedIsTheWay
