Pee Dee Electric Awards Sports Camp Scholarships to Local Students

Congratulations to Cora Smith of Aquadale Elementary School, who will attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at NC State University; and Benjamin “Mason” Smith of Rockingham Middle School, who will attend the Carolina Basketball School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Both will attend on full scholarships from Pee Dee Electric. 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.

“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 proud to reward local student-athletes with the opportunity to have fun, make new friends, and develop skills to help them excel.”

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. We believe in empowering the next generation through opportunities that inspire growth, teamwork, and leadership.
