Help us reach our goal of $100,000!

All proceeds from the Duke-Carolina Basketball Marathon benefit children with life threatening illnesses at Hoop Dreams Basketball Academy. Our goal this year is to raise $100,000. Without the financial support of supporters like you, this will not be possible.

Donations made to the Duke-Carolina Basketball Marathon are tax-deductible. The Student Basketball Marathon and Hoop Dreams Basketball Academy are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations based in North Carolina.
