Today, Providence Grove High School senior Malachi Combo was awarded the Lily Sideline Scholarship, presented by The Oaks Therapeutic Community in loving memory of Lily Butler.
This scholarship removes financial barriers by providing four season passes so families can cheer on their student-athletes from the sidelines — right where they belong. 🏈⚽🏀
🔹 Eligibility: The Lily Sideline Scholarship is open to rising Providence Grove High School juniors or seniors who:
• Participate in at least one school-sponsored sport
• Attend a NC high school where the scholarship is awarded
• Reflect Lily’s values of kindness, dedication, humility, and teamwork
Lily Butler, a beloved PGHS student-athlete and gifted runner, inspired everyone with her kindness, compassion, humility, and determination. Though her life was tragically cut short in 2021, her spirit continues to shine through initiatives like the Lily Sideline Scholarship and the annual Run with Lily, a PGHS Athletic Boosters supported event each March, which raises awareness for mental health and eating disorder resources. 💙
We are so proud of Malachi for being recognized with this honor and for carrying forward Lily’s legacy both on and off the field.
