Girl Named Tom gifted their trophy from winning NBC’s The Voice to their alma mater, Pettisville High School, to showcase their gratitude and appreciation for their hometown and all of those that have supported them along the way.
On Tuesday (Jan. 17), the Season 21 winners of The Voice took to social media to share the news with fans.
“Handing The Voice trophy over to where it belongs: our small but mighty hometown, Pettisville, OH! 🏆” the trio, consisting of siblings Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb Liechty, wrote on Instagram.
The sibling trio went on to explain that they hope the trophy serves as a reminder that dreams do come true if you put in the work to meet your goal.
“As you pass through the halls of the school, we hope this trophy is a reminder… of what can happen when people come together… ‘small town’ does not mean ‘small opportunity’… it sure does take a village to raise children!”
Girl Named Tom also added that they are “forever grateful for the love Pettisville has poured into their family and their harmony trio, Girl Named Tom.”
“What an honor to be on the Pettisville sign!” their post concluded. “Everyone has unique gifts, let’s use them well, and cheer each other on!!! GO BLACKBIRDS ✨”
The post featured a collection of images of the trio in their former High School, holding their trophy, as well as a snapshot of the siblings standing with their road sign in Pettisville that reads, “home of Girl Named Tom, Winner of NBC’s ‘The Voice’ Season 21,” alongside their logo.

The Voice history was made on when Team Kelly’s Girl Named Tom were crowned the winner of Season 21. The trio, from Pettisville, Ohio, became the first-ever trio to ever make it to the finale and win the overall competition.
Girl Named Tom recently returned to The Voice stage during the Season 22 finale on December 13, 2022, where they paid tribute to their late father with an emotional performance of their single, “One More Christmas.”
The sibling trio delivered a flawless performance of “One More Christmas,” a tune from the trio’s debut EP of the same name. The performance was dedicated to their late father, Chris Liechty, who passed away after losing his battle to cancer just days after the trio were named the winners of The Voice.
“One More Christmas” is the title track to their debut EP, which features 8 tracks, including their versions of holiday classics such as “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Jingle Bell Rock-Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and “What Child Is This.” The project also features four original songs, “One More Christmas,” “Isn’t That What Christmas Is For” “Homesick Melody” and “It’s Almost Christmas!”
“We poured our hearts and souls into this magical album …” the trio wrote. “We hope you love this brand-new Christmas classic as much as we do!”
The holiday album also includes “Homesick Melody” a collaboration with Scott Hoying of Pentatonix.
Additionally, Girl Named Tom recently wrapped up their support stint on Pentatonix’s 22-city holiday trek, dubbed A Christmas Spectacular Tour, which kicked off November 17 in Oakland, CA and ran through December 22.
To celebrate their first major tour, Girl Named Tom shared a video on Instagram, recapping the incredible journey with Pentatonix.
“a SPECTACULAR season ✨❄️♥️ @ptxofficial @cost_n_mayor #tour #recap #girlnamedtom #christmas,” the trio captioned the clip.
