Thanks to individual and corporate camp sponsors, the Eric Montross Father’s Day Basketball Camp has raised over $1.8 million to support the UNC Children’s Hospital and we strive to continue to improve the hospital experience for patients every day.
We are particularly proud of fulfilling the #1 priority on Jason Clark’s original list for Eric Montross back in 1994 — The Jason Clark Teen Lounge and Game Room. This unique space gives teenagers a place to socialize and feel normal despite their diagnosis, without doctors and nurses. The Lounge and Game Room features a full kitchen, video game consoles and games, computers, a big-screen television, pool table and more.
