9/11 Day of Service: How UNC Health Honors the Day Through Community Action
September 04, 2025

On September 11, thousands of people across the Triangle will pause—not only to remember, but to act. Activate Good’s 9/11 Day of Service & Remembrance brings individuals, families, businesses, and groups together to honor those lost by serving their communities.

Among the many organizations that participate each year is UNC Health. Not only are they an annual sponsor, but they also embody their mission of caring for North Carolinians both inside and outside the hospital.

The 9/11 Day of Service is a meaningful opportunity for UNC Health to live out our mission of caring for the health and well-being of all North Carolinians—not just within our hospitals, but out in the community. Giving back is at the heart of who we are, and this day brings our teammates together in service, side by side with our neighbors. It’s a chance to honor others through action and strengthen the bonds we share with the communities we’re proud to serve.

Over the years, Activate Good has partnered with UNC Health to match hundreds of teammates with hands-on volunteer opportunities from packing meals to creating care kits for neighbors in need. These moments don’t just support nonprofits; they also build connection, teamwork, and pride among colleagues.

Activate Good has been an incredible partner to UNC Health over the years, helping us turn commitment into action. Through teammate volunteering, we’ve strengthened local organizations, supported neighbors in need, and helped build a thriving, connected community. These experiences foster teamwork and shared purpose—bringing colleagues together and building connections that might never form within the hospital walls.

That’s why UNC Health returns year after year.

Thanks to Activate Good, giving back to our community has never been easier. They thoughtfully connect our team with meaningful volunteer opportunities that not only make a real impact locally, but also strengthen our sense of purpose and connection as teammates.
