This story warms my heart to share. ♥️ Our amazing partners at Pool Scouts of Huntsville just awarded their first annual Patrice Hawthorne Memorial Scholarship, presented in honor of their very first employee.
“We are honored to keep Patrice’s memory alive through this scholarship,” said Rontario Hicks, Owner and General Manager of Pool Scouts of Huntsville. “She brought joy, laughter, and dedication to our team every day. By supporting Blake, we are carrying her legacy of hard work, positivity, and community spirit forward.”
This is what loving Huntsville really looks like. Business leaders investing in their community, honoring beautiful legacies, and creating opportunities for their team.
Congratulations to Blake Whisnant, this year’s scholarship recipient! And thank you, Pool Scouts, for your commitment to uplifting our community! 🙌🎉
