Engagement
UNCW student-athletes are more than just their ability to help the Seahawks hang championship banners; they’re incredible ambassadors for our university, role models for young fans, future leaders, innovators, and community builders.
Their impact extends far beyond competition, and we’re fortunate to partner with them for business ventures, philanthropic efforts and fan-engagement opportunities.
By engaging with OneSeahawk, you’re not just supporting individual athletes and enjoying unique membership perks — you’re investing in the future of UNCW athletics and the broader Wilmington community.

For Nonprofits
In partnership with local nonprofits and charitable organizations, OneSeahawk athletes spend time working to make a difference in the community while using their platforms to spread awareness and engage others for causes they care about.
In our first year, OneSeahawk athletes were able to stock and deliver food boxes with Catholic Charities, build Christmas gift packages for the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, and support participants with Coastal BUDS’ iCan Dance Camp.
Know of an organization that could use our support? We’d love to hear about it.
For Businesses
Interested in having a few UNCW athletes show up to sign autographs for your grand opening? How about social media posts reviewing your latest menu items? OneSeahawk athletes also have packages with local radio and TV stations to supplement your marketing plan.
By partnering with OneSeahawk, you’re not just gaining exposure – you’re investing in the Wilmington community and supporting talented young athletes. Let’s create a winning strategy together that drives your business forward and strengthens the Seahawk family.
