UNC students can buy UNC coffee cups at local Kangaroo Express locations to win $20,000 toward charity in the company’s Battle for Bean Street competition.

The store is selling coffee cups with the UNC, N.C. State and Duke University logos on them. Whichever school has the most of its cups sold will receive the prize money to use in a charity at their university.

UNC’s chosen charity is its Build-a-Block project, a student-led initiative to build 10 Habitat for Humanity houses for UNC and UNC Hospitals employee families. The houses will be built during the 10 months that the 2010-11 school year is in session.

If N.C. State wins the competition, the funds will go to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, and if Duke wins funds will go to the Duke Cancer Institute.

As of Thursday, UNC was winning the competition, followed by N.C. State. Duke was in third place.
