Furthermore, FanDuel is an official sports betting partner of the Carolina Panthers<\/a> and made the donation to the UNCF on Sept. 29 in the form of a check presentation at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, with UNCF and FanDuel executives taking part in the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Through the donation, UNCF will provide direct support via its Emergency Student Aid program and help students at each of the institutions in a variety of areas, including technology, housing, food security, tuition, and other education-related expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to extend our work with the UNCF to support the HBCU community across North Carolina,\u201d said Alison Kutler, Vice President, Responsible Gaming and Community Impact at FanDuel.<\/p>\n

\u201cFanDuel is steadfast in its commitment to making a positive impact in the communities in which we operate our sportsbook, and we look forward to supporting hard-working students at institutions throughout the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
