With the finish, Doeren and Harvey won $65,000, which will be split evenly between an endowed scholarship at N.C. State and Doeren's charity of choice: Special Education Services of the Wake County Public School System!
Coach Doeren has donated half of his winnings each of past two years to Wake County Public School System Special Education Services.
Wake County Special Education Services provide specially designed instruction including explicit, direct, systematic and research-based strategies to meet individual student needs with multiple opportunities to practice in Wake County, North Carolina. It serves students with programs for autism, deaf and hard of hearing students, emotional disabilities, visually impaired students and a host of other special needs.
