Duke Children's Charity Stripe Challenge
Blue Devils cheer on Duke Children's patients and Duke Men's Basketball celebrities to take their best shot
2022-2023 Charity Stripe Challenge
MAKE YOUR GIFT TO THE CHARITY STRIPE CHALLENGE
Dollars raised to date: $50,982.80
Free throws made to date: 132
In its second season, this fundraising initiative will combine the power and passion of Duke Men's Basketball with a highly engaging fundraising campaign to benefit Duke Children’s. The first challenge was held during the 2021-2022 season. At every men’s basketball home game during the season, a different Duke personality or celebrity guest walked out on the court with the game host, stepped up to the “charity stripe” and attempted a foul shot to help raise money for Duke Children’s. A made shot earned $1,000 and a missed shot was worth $500. Last year's shooters included J.J. Redick, Mike Dunleavy, Steve Wojciechowski, Jabari Parker, Coach Mike Elko, Marshall Plumlee, and Grayson Allen.
The first Charity Stripe Challenge during the 2021-2022 season raised $107,836.30.
