About Ashley....
Ashley was a person who was passionate about many things: faith, family, soccer, and people in need. She always put her faith first, even during her battle with cancer... her faith only grew stronger. Ashley deeply valued her relationships with others, even strangers who were in need. One of her favorite sayings was, "Just do what's right."
On the soccer field, Ashley led her teams to many victories including the Sanderson High School State Soccer Championship in 1991, and UNC Soccer National Championships three years in a row from 1992-1994. The Ashley Riggs Making a Difference Scholarship, is awarded to a player who works hard on and off the field, who shows determination and perseverance, and who may also be experiencing hardships in life. Ashley wanted to create opportunities for people who may otherwise not have them.
