roy williams bookTar Heel basketball fans adding Coach Roy Williams’ new autobiography, “Hard Work:  My Life On and Off the Court,” to their holiday shopping lists are helping support the Carolina Covenant. Part of the book proceeds are being donated to the Carolina Covenant, which provides a debt-free education to qualified low-income students. Coach Williams has long supported this ground-breaking initiative, which quickly became a national model for public and private universities alike. Private support has been critical to the initiative’s success. Between 2004 and 2007, generous donors contributed $10 million to support its launch and early implementation. Coach Williams and his wife, Wanda, served as honorary chairs of this initial fundraising drive. He also said  “everyone deserves a shot” in talking about the program in a long-running public service announcement airing on TV broadcasts of Tar Heel basketball and football games.
