George Whitfield Awards Annual Scholarship in Memory of Gilmer Minor III
Baseball Hall of Famer George Whitfield established an annual scholarship through the Lenoir Community College Foundation in memory of Gilmer Minor, III—a devoted supporter of athletics who played both college football and baseball. The scholarship honors student-athletes who demonstrate strong character and an outstanding work ethic, traits that Minor exemplified throughout his life.
This year, the scholarship was awarded to LCC Baseball player Danny Staley, who recently graduated from the college. Known for his leadership on and off the field, Staley has been a standout example of dedication and integrity during his time at LCC.
“I’m honored to receive this scholarship. My time at LCC has meant a lot to me, and it feels great to finish strong and be recognized for my hard work,” says Staley.
