By
-

The Lynchburg-Clay FFA Chapter will be hosting the annual Greg Wilkin Memorial Scholarship Basketball Tournament on Dec. 26-27 at the Lynchburg-Clay High School Gymnasium.

The Lynchburg-Clay Young Farmers originally created this tournament so the FFA Chapter could award scholarships to the graduating seniors that meet the guidelines set forth by the Lynchburg-Clay Agriculture Education Department.

The Alumni Tournament is held during each Christmas holiday and is the main source of income for the scholarship.

Donations are also received from family, friends and others interested in supporting this worthy cause.

Greg Wilkin was lost in a farming accident 30 years ago. He was a graduate of the Lynchburg-Clay Schools and attended Wilmington College where he majored in Agriculture. He was also involved in the family farm operation. Greg had a great love for farming.

If you are interested in registering a team for the Wilkin Scholarship Tournament, receiving a complete set of rules for the tournament, or making a donation to the scholarship fund, please contact the Agriculture Education Department at 364-2250 ext. 11612 by Friday, Dec. 14.
