Wilmington Hammerheads Camo Jersey Silent Auction

The Battleship NORTH CAROLINA is a powerful symbol of our gratitude and pride for those who served in World War II and for all who serve in our nation's armed forces and their families.

It is our state's memorial to the over 11,000 North Carolinians who died during World War II. It is a powerful testimonial to those who continue to give their lives in support of our freedom today.

The NORTH CAROLINA is a living classroom where students, teachers, and families share our history and much more. The Battleship and surrounding Eagles Island provide an exciting learning environment to teach science, math, and engineering.

And our Battleship is an economic engine for tourism, jobs, and the economy, attracting more than 250,000 visitors each year.

The Generations Campaign is a Call to All Hands to actively support this treasured monument as a powerful place to share our history and introduce the call to duty - to teach, to learn, and to serve.

The Battleship is self-supporting, not tax supported and relies primarily upon admissions to tour the ship, sales in the Ship's Store, donations and investments. No funds for its administration and operation come from appropriations from governmental entities at the local, state or federal levels.

Your generosity can make a difference in helping us keep the Showboat shipshape.

The Wilmington Hammerheads have been around for 20 seasons. Since, 1996, the Hammerheads have been a significant part of the Port City community. On Saturday, August 20th, the team will be wearing a special pink jersey, which will be auctioned off. All proceeds of the auction will benefit the NHRMC Foundation's Pink Ribbon Project.
