Speakers
Phil Ford
We are proud to announce Phil Ford as the keynote speaker for the Well-Being & Resiliency Gala. Phil Ford is a North Carolina native who graduated from Rocky Mount Senior High School in 1974 and earned a full athletic scholarship to the University of North Carolina under Coach Dean Smith. Ford (#12) played for the UNC basketball team from 1974-78 and graduated with a degree in Business Administration. During this time, he also celebrated athleticism and patriotism as part of the U.S. Men’s Olympic basketball team in 1976, where he earned a gold medal. He finished his career at UNC as the leading all-time scorer with 2,290 points, a record he held for 30 years. Following his college career, he was the second pick in the first round of the NBA draft with the Kansas City Kings. In 1988, Ford returned to UNC as an assistant coach and helped lead the team to a national title in 1993. Phil’s athletic accomplishments include: Retired UNC Jersey, USBWA National Player of the Year, First-Team All-American, ACC Player of the Year, Olympic Gold Medalist, and NBA Rookie of the Year.
Currently, Ford offers basketball instruction and camps to train both players and coaches to help them reach their full potential. In 2014, he founded the Phil Ford Foundation, which aims to support research for adolescent obesity prevention and care to foster change and long-term results. The Foundation is currently collaborating with UNC School of Medicine and the North Carolina Children’s Hospital to combat this societal issue. Ford is a proud father, philanthropist, Tarheel basketball legend and a champion of well-being and resiliency. We are honored to have him spend the evening with us as we focus on friendship and wellness in memory of Mikey Nam.
