Pack of Wolves NIL Collective Expands with the Addition of the Non-Profit Belltower NIL to Pair Charities with Socially Responsible N.C. State Student-Athletes.
Fans, alums, and supporters now have a tax-deductible option to support the philanthropic work of N.C. State student-athletes in the community.
Raleigh, N.C. – Oct. 20, 2022 – The newly formed non-profit Belltower NIL collective will join the same holding company as the Pack of Wolves NIL to provide an exclusive non-profit focus for student-athletes and the community. Contributions to Belltower NIL will be tax deductible and help raise awareness for philanthropic partners by pairing them with N.C. State student-athletes.
Several charities have already signed on to the growing family of charitable organizations within the Belltower collective, including GiGi's Playhouse of Raleigh, N.C., the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake County, Dress for Success Triangle N.C., The Harrelson Center of Wilmington, N.C., and the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. An inaugural group of twenty N.C. State student-athletes have signed on to work with the collectives, including members of N.C. State men's and women's basketball programs, football, baseball, and women's soccer.
The Pack of Wolves collective is designed to allow companies and brands unique, one-of-a-kind engagements that bring Wolfpack fans closer to N.C. State student-athletes. The partnership now provides supporters with two ways to make contributions that enable student-athletes to use their influence to help charitable organizations, the community, and N.C. State University.
“The Belltower Collective has the opportunity to make an enormous impact on our community through the charitable service work and leadership of our student-athletes,” said Dave Doeren, NC State head football coach. “My family has been a supporter of our special needs community and programs in our local schools, and we look forward to the work our athletes will do to raise awareness for GiGi’s Playhouse as well as the other partner charities.”
N.C. State alumnus Charlie Stallings will serve as board chairman of the holding company for the Belltower and Pack of Wolves collectives. Stallings is a longtime university supporter and retired BB&T Capital Markets (now Truist Securities) Senior Vice President. Fellow N.C. State alumnus, Jarrett Disbrow, will serve as board vice chairman. Disbrow is Executive Vice President and co-founder at Aytu BioPharma, Inc.
"We wanted to build a premier NIL organization with a high level of integrity and transparency that reflects the world-class leadership N.C. State is known for," said Charlie Stallings, Pack of Wolves and Belltower collectives board chairman. "Giving back is one of my guiding principles, and it's been eye-opening for me to see how generous and involved our athletes already are in our community. I love being able to support them in the joy of giving and serving."
"We are excited about the continued expansion of Name, Image, and Likeness opportunities available to N.C. State student-athletes and are particularly proud that they have the ability to use their platform to make an impact on the greater Raleigh Community and its philanthropic organizations," said Boo Corrigan, N.C. State Director of Athletics.
