Merz Aesthetics has announced its continued partnership with North Carolina Courage, a National Women’s Soccer League team based in Cary, North Carolina, marking the partnership’s fourth consecutive year. “We are proud to continue our partnership with the NC Courage, an organization aligned in our shared values of the importance of confidence and empowerment of women,” says Patrick Urban, president of Merz Aesthetics North America. “Our commitment to fostering deeper community development and supporting women’s programs remains stronger than ever, and this partnership is a keystone in those efforts.”
Merz Aesthetics will once again sponsor the North Carolina Courage ‘Woman of the Match’ award, which will be presented at each home game this season to a woman who has made an impact in the Raleigh or broader North Carolina Triangle community. This will be the second year the community partners have showcased women who go above and beyond to help build confidence in the local community through the ‘Woman of the Match’ program. The first honoree for the new season will be recognized during the NC Courage home opener on March 22, 2025.
For the third year, the NC Courage home opener will also feature Merz Aesthetics’ corporate partner, Dress for Success Triangle, who will have their mobile ‘Confidence Boutique’ on-site at the home opener on March 22. Dress for Success Triangle will be collecting new and gently used professional handbags, uniting the local community around the organization’s mission—empowering Raleigh women to achieve economic independence by providing professional attire and the development tools to help them thrive in work and life. All those who donate to the purse drive will be entered to win a signed NC Courage jersey.
