We are proud to announce that Coach K has named the Emily Krzyzewski Center as his selected charity in the Infiniti Coaches’ Charity Challenge. Forty-eight top college basketball coaches will participate in the challenge which invites fans to vote for their favorite coach over an eight week period. Voters can cast their ballot through ESPN.com’s link to the Infiniti Coaches’ Charity Challenge and can vote for Coach K each day. Infiniti will contribute more than $300,000 to selected charities, with one winner receiving $100,000. Without Coach Krzyzewski’s support, the Emily K Center would not be able to offer 1,500 students and community members each month the opportunity to learn, convene and grow, or conduct its academic K to College Model, a program designed to help students achieve in school and gain entry to college.

The Emily K Center is an organization that is extremely close to my heart. I am keenly aware of the impact that the $100,000 prize will have on the lives of so many deserving children in Durham. I can’t urge you enough to vote early and often at the link in the main post - note that you can vote once per day. Please take a few minutes out of each day to register a vote for an incrediblly successful and meaningful cause that has a profound impact on the Durham community each and every day.
