Many charities make life better

In recent weeks Greenville residents have seen the extraordinary benefits that flow from three charities that have their roots in this community, reflect the generous instincts of corporate citizens and contribute greatly to local agencies that do good work right here at home. The financial assistance that came to local groups last month through these three foundations or fundraising initiatives provides a powerful illustration of the ability of individual corporate leaders and the companies they lead to do good in a community and make a difference in many lives.

Hollingsworth Funds, Bi-Lo Holdings Foundation and TD SYNNEX Share the Magic recently announced their distribution of charitable funds in the Greenville area. These are by no means all of the private and corporate foundations and fundraising efforts that each year make such an improvement in our area and help so many people. From small civic clubs to larger efforts sponsored by major companies or foundations, many more millions of dollars are raised and distributed each year in our area.

Hollingsworth Funds gave more than $6.6 million locally in grants last month, and as a result 52 nonprofit organizations, along with Furman University and the YMCA of Greenville, will be better able to fulfill their missions. The total disbursed this year— $6,646,980 — exceeded last year’s total by 7.9 percent, and it is the largest annual gift in the organization’s history, according to a Greenville News story by Angelia Davis.

Sigma Chi’s Derby Days Raise over $30K

Sigma Chi Fraternity at Clemson University recently hosted their annual Derby Days, one of the largest charitable events by a Greek organization in the Southeast. This year they raised more than $30 thousand and donated $28,442 to TD SYNNEX Share the Magic, an annual fundraising initiative created by TD SYNNEX Corporation to provide the much needed funding for Upstate, South Carolina children facing incredible challenges such as illness, abuse or neglect through four beneficiaries – Make-A-Wish South Carolina, A Child’s Haven, Clement’s Kindness and Pendleton Place for Children & Families. Derby Days is a week-long philanthropic event hosted by Sigma Chi Fraternity chapters across the country to serve their local community with not just money, but also time and effort. The Clemson University chapter hosted the week-long lineup of events from September 22-26, 2014, with Sigma Chi members serving as coaches and hosting a series of events and competitions among the sororities on campus. Money is raised through donations and fundraising events. “Derby Days gives the members of Sigma Chi the unique opportunity to make an impact in the community, and it is especially meaningful to know that this year’s efforts will make a difference in the lives of many children right here in the Upstate,” said Mike Brierton, Clemson University alumni and Philanthropy Chapter Advisor. Since 1977, Sigma Chi Derby Days at Clemson University has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local and national philanthropies. “On behalf of TD SYNNEX Share the Magic and the organizations we support and the children they serve, we thank the members of Sigma Chi for their donation.” said Bob Stegner, Senior Vice President, Marketing North America at TD SYNNEX. “These guys work really hard each year to raise money for a charity, and we are thankful that they chose to support TD SYNNEX Share the Magic and children right here in the Upstate.” For more information on the event and about the organizations they support, please visit www.clemsonderbydays.com.
