On the Saturday preceding the concert the UNC Football Team’s Spring Game will be broadcast live on ESPN, and GenerAction Week will be the subject of an “Outside the Lines” special feature. During the game, different aspects of the preceding week will be featured, and GenerAction’s “What’s Your Action” video will be premiered. The GenerAction Week concert will last from 3:30 pm until 6:30pm and reduced-price ticketing will be provided only to those who participated in the events of GenerAction Week. Additional tickets will be made available for the general public, and the proceeds from these ticket sales will be allocated towards EACEF’s Shalom school construction project in Uganda, as well as to a new fund for innovative student-led social change ideas.
