PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke Athletics Department has announced that sponsorship opportunities and table reservations are now available for the 2026 Cash Bash, the Braves Club's premier annual fundraising event supporting student-athlete scholarships.

The event will be held Thursday, April 30, 2026, at Lumbee Guaranty Bank Court, and will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Cash Bash brings together supporters of UNCP Athletics for an evening of entertainment, food and beverages, and both live and silent auctions, all in support of Braves student-athletes.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Braves Club Scholarship Fund, which supports more than 450 student-athletes across UNC Pembroke's 16 varsity athletics programs. Contributions through Cash Bash help provide scholarships and resources that allow UNCP student-athletes to compete at a high level while pursuing their academic goals.

Businesses and individuals are invited to partner with UNCP Athletics through a variety of Cash Bash sponsorship opportunities. Sponsorship packages include benefits such as 8 tickets, priority table seating, recognition during the event, and visibility through in-venue promotions.

Last year's Cash Bash generated nearly $190,000 through sponsorships, auctions and donor contributions, making it one of the most impactful fundraising events for UNCP Athletics.

Sponsorships can be purchased online by visiting uncpbraves.com/cashbash.
