Duke Children's Charity Stripe Challenge
Presented by
Be a Hoops Hero with the Charity Stripe 1000 Challenge!
Hey Blue Devil fans! Join Duke Men’s Basketball in supporting Duke Children's and help give our kids a chance at a healthy future. We are asking 1,000 fans to give $25 during the 2024-2025 season. Join our team and be a Hoops Hero for the kids at Duke Children’s! One lucky Hoops Hero will win two tickets to the Duke/UNC game on Feb. 1, 2025 in Cameron Indoor Stadium. One entry per email address. Update: the entry period for tickets is now closed. Please check back soon for information on the 2025-2026 season.
Celebrating four seasons, this fundraising initiative combines the power and passion of Duke Men's Basketball with a highly engaging fundraising campaign to benefit Duke Children’s.
At every Men’s Basketball home game during the season, a different Duke personality or celebrity guest walks out on the court with the game host, steps up to the “charity stripe” and attempts a foul shot to help raise money for Duke Children’s. A made shot earns $1,000 and a missed shot is worth $500. Past year's shooters have included J.J. Redick, Mike Dunleavy, Steve Wojciechowski, Jabari Parker, Coach Manny Diaz, Marshall Plumlee, Paolo Banchero, Grant Hill, and Grayson Allen.
We are also looking for Game Hosts to sponsor games throughout the season!
