Creating Community. Taking Action.
Pack United was initially created by student athletes at NC State following the death of George Floyd. The founding members focused on increasing awareness of social injustice and racism through education. They encouraged action by creating an opportunity for all NC State student-athletes and staff to implement change in their community.
Pack United has now evolved to focusing on other injustices to reach more of the community. Pack United is composed of student-athletes along with dedicated staff members who are committed to fighting social injustices. Members are selected for their passion to actively enact change, not only in the NC State community, but also across the country. Our educational and charitable nonprofit makes decisions on action and outreach by the three pillars of awareness, education and action.
Pack United utilizes monetary donations to support community engagement initiatives that align with our mission.
