The Bobby Phills Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Bobby Ray Phills, former Charlotte Hornets star forward. As a tribute to her husband, Kendall Phills seeks to continue his legacy by supporting those values Bobby believed in. Those values: family, community, athletics, academic excellence, and the arts. The fund is not bound to scholarships, but rather the overall support of youth and youth-based initiatives through contributions and partnerships with other organizations that serve youth.

On behalf of the Bobby Phills Scholarship Fund, Kendall Phills donated $40,000 to create a partnership with The New Orleans Hornets and Dillard University. “Hoops for Higher Education,” provided a total of $160,000 in financial assistance (32 one-time $5,000 scholarships in combined funds) for selected Dillard University freshman.
