Ethan Dellinger Memorial Scholarship

09/08/2024

Six years ago we set out to honor Ethan Dellinger’s life through supporting our community and its beautiful people. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that six years later our nonprofit and its events would continue to be so successful.

In our pain, we chose kindness. In our grief, we chose love. In our anger, we chose joy. Those choices have led to something that I would never have imagined. The people we have met and the friends we have formed have blessed us in this journey of pain, grief and loss. I have no true way of expressing how appreciative we are except a hug and a thank you.

Thanks to everyone for another successful golf tournament and silent auction. Whether through donations, participation, purchases or volunteering YOU are the heartbeat of what makes all this happen. Your generosity and love blesses US, as well as the students who receive Ethan’s scholarships.

Mark your calendars for September 13, 2025 and join us next year! ♥️🇺🇸

Senior Awards Day is always a special time💙 9 years ago, we were there celebrating our senior Ethan Dellinger. Today, we were there honoring his memory by awarding the Ethan Dellinger Memorial Scholarship for outstanding community service to two deserving Maiden High School seniors ~ Hunter Smathers and Taylor Frye. May The Lord richly bless you both as you pursue your dreams and continue to serve others at Montreat College and USC-Columbia💙💙💙.

To those that support our golf tournament, silent auction and corn hole tournaments…thank you!! We could not bless these young people without your unwavering support. This is our 5th year and we have been able to award $42,000 in scholarships because of this great community. God bless you all! 💙💙💙
