Long-Time Tar Heel Fan Helps Troubled Youth

Posted Apr 10, 2016
Dennis Garrett has been a Tar Heel fan since he can remember. He used to sell soda at sports events with his older brothers, struggling to keep up with them. He says since then the Tar Heels have inspired him in every way and it shows. Garrett has been collecting UNC memorabilia since he was a child. He picks up merchandise from every new city he visits, whether it is from California, Hawaii, the Bahamas, or Mexico. (TWC News)
