Jayden Wilkins from KIPP Halifax participated in the Carolina Basketball School, led by head coach Hubert Davis, at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

“Jayden is an outstanding student, athlete and community member,” said Julia Allsbrook, director of member services and community engagement at Halifax EMC. “We are proud to partner with a prestigious North Carolina university to help provide such a unique leadership and learning experience for our local students and future leaders.”

Jayden joined other electric co-op scholarship winners statewide at the camp, where he stayed overnight in a dorm and experienced life as a college student. Coaches and student-athletes worked directly with campers to develop basketball fundamentals and practice skills such as teamwork that will help them excel on and off the court.

Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarships are available each year as part of Halifax EMC’s commitment to supporting youth and education in our community. Congratulations to Jayden for earning this scholarship and representing Halifax EMC at basketball camp this summer!
