“As military dependents ourselves, we are excited to be able to honor our fathers and our families by establishing this program to benefit the loved ones of military service members. Too often, we forget the many sacrifices made by the families of the military and we hope this program will, in some small way, say thank you to those families.”

As part of For All Kind: the Campaign for Carolina, Steve ’78 and Debbie ’78 Vetter of Greensboro, North Carolina, committed a $40 million total gift: $20 million to support need-based financial support for students from military families, creating the Red, White and Carolina Blue Challenge; $10 million to support UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School; and $10 million to support Carolina Athletics. The Red, White and Carolina Blue Challenge runs through Dec. 31, 2022. If met, the Challenge will provide at least $40 million in scholarship support for students from military families; scholars will be acknowledged as Steve and Debbie Vetter Military Family Scholars.
