Merz Aesthetics, the world’s largest dedicated medical aesthetics business, announced its continued partnership with the North Carolina Courage, the 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,” 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 keystone in those efforts.” 

Merz Aesthetics is also thrilled to 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.

“Merz Aesthetics has been an incredible partner for several years, and we are excited to see this collaboration continue in 2025. Our two organizations came together through a shared commitment to empower and support women in sports, and that bond 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,” said Courage President Francie Gottsegen.
