ASHEVILLE, N.C. ? UNC Asheville and the NCAA donated $500 to the Girl Scouts of Western North Carolina this week as a part of the “Pack the House” Challenge the Bulldogs won in February.
UNC Asheville was one of 32 winners in the NCAA Division I “Pack the House” Challenge. “Pack the House” is national effort in which conferences and institutions compete to build attendance. NCAA Division I women's basketball marketing staffs selected a home game and designated that date as a “Pack the House” game with the goal of setting an attendance record. One winner from each of the 31 conferences and one from a group of independent institutions were named. Selections were based on marketing plan creativity and attendance criteria. The NCAA awarded prizes and donated $500 to the nonprofit organization of each winning institution's choice.
Asheville chose the Girls Scouts of Western North Carolina because the Girl Scouts were a large part of the crowd at the January 17 game against Radford.
