Tar Heel Service Days

Members of the Blue Ridge Carolina Club take donations for the MDA Phone-a-thon.

Tar Heel Service Days, an annual, nationwide public service effort sponsored by local Carolina Clubs, are held as part of the celebration of University Day. Carolina Club leaders and their local alumni are encouraged to participate in a community service project. You can get involved by joining your local Carolina Club's Tar Heel Service Days team. Find out what the club in your area is doing.

Carolina Clubs give back to the University every day by keeping the Carolina connection alive all over the country and world. During October's Tar Heel Service Day program, clubs will get together to give back to their communities, too.
