Carolina Cancer Association at UNC-CH

We thank you for the incredible opportunity to serve our community!

Thank you to the @cca_unc student group for helping to outfit over 140 new mattresses with safety covers in our 38 newly constructed rooms! They also put together new rolling carts. We can't thank the students of @cca_unc enough for their generous gift of time and strength!

I know the past week has been difficult for many in the Carolina community, requiring significant changes to your plans for the semester. To give students time to catch their breath, we're pausing all undergraduate instruction on Monday and Tuesday. unc.live/2YgHDfa

So proud of our members and fundraising team for working hard in the short time we had together last semester to make this amazing contribution possible!

Happy FWOC and a warm welcome back to our Tarheels! We’re excited to share what we have in store for you this semester. For more info and updates join our listserv or follow our other accounts Instagram: @unccms Facebook: @CancerMedSociety
