One Pack NIL Launches Spare Change Round-Up Program to Enhance Support for Wolfpack Student-Athletes
Raleigh, NC (February 25, 2025) – One Pack NIL, the official NIL collective of the NC State Wolfpack, has launched the Spare Change Round Up program, allowing fans to easily support Wolfpack student-athlete NIL opportunities by rounding up their everyday purchases – regardless of where they eat, shop, spend or live. Enrollees can link their debit cards, credit cards, or checking accounts to automatically contribute spare change from each transaction to NIL initiatives.
“Our fans have been looking for a simple way to round up their purchases to support NIL opportunities, and we’re thrilled to launch the Spare Change Round-Up program,” said Chris Vurnakes, Executive Director of One Pack NIL. “This flexible and hassle-free solution makes it easy for fans to get involved, letting them decide their contribution amount without needing separate agreements with merchants—no matter where they bank or live.”
Enrolling is fast and secure—fans can link their card or bank account in minutes. Once enrolled, everyday purchases are automatically rounded up to the nearest dollar, with spare change contributions totaled weekly. If the total reaches $10 or more, the amount is deducted from the selected payment account and directed to One Pack NIL; if under $10, it rolls over to the next week. Fans also have full control, with options to multiply their contributions (2x–5x), set weekly limits, switch accounts, or pause participation at any time.
The Spare Change Round Up program is powered by SmartChange, an award-winning fundraising platform, ensuring the program is secure, reliable, and user-friendly.
Emily Wineland, Co-Founder of SmartChange, emphasized the program’s accessibility: “Everyone should have the opportunity to make a positive impact, no matter the size of their contribution. The Spare Change Round-Up program empowers fans to support Wolfpack Athletics effortlessly and affordably as part of their everyday routine.”
In addition to supporting NIL opportunities, enrolled fans will gain access to exclusive perks. Each month, the top donor will receive a special gift from One Pack NIL, ranging from signed memorabilia to exclusive One Pack merchandise, and more.
