Alvin Battle

N.C. State Men’s Basketball National Champion

Charity: V Foundation for Cancer Research

Alvin Battle played on the ‘83 North Carolina State men’s basketball team, coached by Jim Valvano. They won the national title with a 54–52 victory in the final game over Houston. The ending of the final game is one of the most famous in college basketball history, with a buzzer-beating dunk by Lorenzo Charles off a desperation shot from 30 feet out by Dereck Whittenburg.

Coach Valvano's running around the court in celebration immediately after the game has been an iconic moment of NCAA tournament coverage ever since. North Carolina State's victory has often been considered one of the greatest upsets in college basketball history, and is the fourth biggest point-spread upset in Championship Game history.

HOW IT WORKS

Dennis Murphy working at computer

We put our hands together
to do a lot of good

My Hand My Cause captures highly detailed, artistic hand photographs of celebrities. There are notable people from the worlds of Sport, Music, Movies, Art, Medicine, Science and more — people who are leaders in their fields and working to make our world better along the way.

We use these unique photos to raise money by selling high quality, life size prints of each celebrity's hand along with their printed signature and date it was shot. We offer the print in exchange for a $105 donation with the net proceeds going to the charity chosen by, and associated with, that celebrity.
