A shooter's touch: Patient inspired Montross to support hospital

Posted Jul 3, 2009
On Friday and Saturday, UNC basketball players were joined on the Smith Center court by pint-sized Tar Heels and their fathers. The event was the 15th year of the Eric Montross Father’s Day Basketball Camp. Montross started the camp in 1995 with the family of an N.C. Children’s Hospital patient. While a member of the men’s basketball team in 1993, Montross often made visits to patients at the Children’s Hospital. (Daily Tar Heel)
