Briana Haynes of Lilesville Elementary

Oakley Griffin of Union Academy

Two local students have earned Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarships from Pee Dee Electric to attend summer basketball camps at two of the state’s largest college campuses.

Congratulations to Briana Haynes of Lilesville Elementary who will attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at N.C. State University, and Oakley Griffin of Union Academy who will attend the Carolina Basketball School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, both on full scholarships from Pee Dee Electric.

“These scholarships are a fantastic way to provide a one-of-a-kind educational and athletic opportunity,” said Taylor Demby, manager of Marketing and Communications. “We are very proud to reward local student-athletes with the opportunity to have fun, make new friends, and develop skills to help them excel on and off the court. We know Briana and Oakley will represent Pee Dee Electric well!”

The scholarships cover all expenses at the overnight camps, which provide a glimpse into life on a college campus. Campers stay overnight in dorms, learn fundamental skills that will help them excel on and off the court, and receive individual and group instruction from Division 1 coaches to enhance their basketball and team-building abilities.

Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarships are available each year as part of Pee Dee Electric’s commitment to supporting youth and education in our community.
