Inspired by her son, Frankie, and his love of sports, Debbie Antonelli created the 24 Hours Nothing But Net (24NBN) fundraiser for Special Olympics.
Beginning in South Carolina in 2019, Antonelli created the 24NBN fundraiser by making 2,400 free throws in 24 hours with a 94% accuracy rate. She raised more than $85,000. The event has now expanded to multiple states and raised more than $415,000 for Special Olympics athletes.
This year, UNC Asheville basketball teams took on Debbie’s challenge in an effort to raise funds for Special Olympics athletes in North Carolina.
