About 150 UNC and NC State fans banded together at Blackfinn American Saloon in uptown Charlotte to watch the in-state rivals' first match-up of the season and support Taylor's Tale. The event was supported by the local UNC and NC State alumni clubs. Halftime festivities included a video featuring Taylor, door prizes and a raffle. Tip-off for Taylor raised nearly $2,500 for Taylor's Tale and Batten disease research.
