Commitment to community is one of the four core values of Touchstone Energy Cooperatives. Horry Electric is proud to serve the members who make up the communities throughout our service area. Within these communities, there are an abundance of unsung heroes who are helping those in need and empowering their neighbors. These are the members who inspire our commitment to community and we want to celebrate them.
If you are inspired by someone making a difference in our community, the #WhoPowersYou contest is your chance to honor them and tell their stories. Anyone can nominate a neighbor. Nominees must either be a cooperative member, live in a residence served by an electric cooperative or be making a positive impact in a community served by the cooperative.
Horry Electric will choose a local winner, who will win a prize of $500. The local winner will then have a chance at being named the 2023 South Carolina #WhoPowersYou Hero and receive a $2,500 grand prize. Winners will be selected by a panel of judges based on the impact they have on our community.
You can nominate a local hero by visiting ecsc.org/WhoPowersYou, where you’ll be asked to share a photo of your nominee and answer three questions about how they are making difference in their community.
All entries must be submitted by July 31, 2023.
