Meet our 2026 Co-Chairs
We’re especially honored to have Bj Stone ’72, M.A. ’80, Ed.D. ‘02 and Don Stone ‘72 as our co-chairs for this year’s walk. For over 30 years, the Stones have been unwavering champions for UNC Athletics, and you’ve likely seen them walking for years as part of the “Bear Heiny’s” women’s walk team.
Bj is a three-time alumna whose passion for women’s sports is deeply personal. She was a “pom-pom girl”, both in high school and at UNC, when that role was often the closest women could get to athletics. She later earned her doctorate from UNC and remains deeply connected to the university. Today, she serves on the volleyball committee and continues to be a dedicated advocate for female student-athletes.
Don came to UNC from a small, rural community and quickly fell in love with Greeley. A former UNC men’s basketball student-athlete from 1968–71, Don has remained actively involved in UNC Athletics for more than 30 years and continues to champion women’s sports, reflecting his deep commitment to expanding opportunities for female student-athletes at UNC.
“Ruth Bader Ginsberg said, ‘Fight for things you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.’ The UNC Women’s Walk is an important way to celebrate the student-athletes and make their journey at UNC as good as possible. Join the community in thanking these talented young women.” – Bj Stone ’72, M.A. ’80, Ed.D. ‘02
