Merz Aesthetics Extends Partnership with North Carolina Women’s Team

Merz Aesthetics announced its continued partnership with the Women’s National Soccer League's North Carolina Courage on Tuesday. 

“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,” said 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 keynote in those efforts.”

Merz Aesthetics will also 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. 

“Merz Aesthetics has been an incredible partner for several years, and we are excited to see this collaboration continued in 2025. Our two organizations came together through a shared commitment to empower and support women in sports, and that bon has only strengthened during this partnership. Our league and club have experienced significant growth in recent years, and the unwavering support of our major partners is crucial for our ongoing progress and success. We’re grateful that Merz Aesthetics shares our values and is dedicated to helping us build a best-in-class organization for our players, staff, and community,” Courage President Francie Gottsegen said.

Merz Aesthetics corporate partner Dress for Success Triangle will have its mobile “Confidence Boutique” onsite at the NC Courage home opener on March 22. They 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 development tools to help them thrive in work and life. Anyone who donates to the purse drive will be entered to win a signed NC Courage jersey.
