Get ready to kick off the season in style! Join us for the 8th Annual UNCW Basketball Tip-Off Dinner for an evening of fun with players, coaches, and fellow fans.

Former Seahawk Mark Byington, fresh off leading James Madison to a 32-4 season and an NCAA Tournament appearance, will serve as keynote speaker. Byington, an All-CAA point guard at UNCW (1994-98), was named head coach at Vanderbilt on March 25 of this year.

This event will be held in the Burney Center on UNCW's campus, and include a cocktail hour and a V.I.P. social (depending on participation level). It will also feature a live DJ, a virtual silent auction, and an in-person live auction. Auctions will include amazing experiences with players from this year's team!

Cocktail hour and the VIP reception begin at 6 pm, with the program and dinner set for 7 pm.

Proceeds from this event will directly benefit UNCW Men’s Basketball student-athletes through Name, Image, & Likeness opportunities.
