Committees are in charge of different aspects of the
Duke-Carolina Student Basketball Marathon fundraiser. Each committee member works
closely with their fellow committee members and respective committee chair
to carryout a specific aspect of the marathon. While this is less of a
commitment than a board chair, it still requires a substantial weekly commitment.

Be a Player and form your own team:
Each team can consist
of 6-8 players, each of whom will be responsible for raising as much money as
they can for the kids (we have set the minimum at $100 per player). Each team
will get to play 1-2 hours, depending on the number of teams interested. We
strongly encourage applicants to commit to staying in the gym for the Full
Marathon (26 hours), but you can also opt for the Half Marathon (13 hours),
the Quarter Marathon (6 hours), or simply play Pickup (1 hour). We want teams
to stay as long as they can to show support for the kids. Priority in playing time (we are expecting more applicants
than we have time for) will go to those who (1) commit to stay the longest
(2) turn in the forms first and (3) recruit sister/brother teams from the
school down the road for intense match-ups. You can also sign up as an
individual and we’ll make a team for you. Registration forms can be found on our Players page. If you
have any questions, send them our way. [Click here for Players Page]
Become a Cheerleader:
While 26 different teams of Duke and UNC students are competing on the basketball court, squads of cheerleaders from each school will be facing off in an all-out competition of vocal strength and endurance (also known as cheerleading). There is a two-hour commitment for all cheerleaders and a $10 entry fee. Prizes will be given to squads with the best cheers and those who raise the most money. Show your school spirit! Fill out a cheerleader sign up form and e-mail it to cheerleaders@basketballmarathon.com. [Cheerleader Packet]
Become an Event Volunteer:
Volunteer to help out during the Student Basketball Marathon
weekend. We need help setting and cleaning up, providing event security,
working the log book, stats, and scoreboard, videotaping the marathon,
providing transportation for food pick-ups and deliveries, and so forth.
If you do not have the time to work on the Student Basketball Marathon during the
year, consider becoming an event volunteer. [Sign up online.]
