2016 Charity Classic Fundraiser Sets New Record
Greenville, SC (PRWEB) September 19, 2016 -- The Commerce Club in downtown Greenville, SC, a member of the ClubCorp family of clubs, has announced that its 2016 Charity Classic fundraiser, held on August 11th, generated over $40,000. The $40,000 total surpassed the 2015 Charity Classic’s then record-breaking total of $28,000 – a 43% increase in monies raised.
All proceeds are donated equally to three charities: The Family Effect, located in Greenville; ALS’s Augie’s Quest; and the ClubCorp Employee Care Foundation, which helps employees and their families in times of crisis.
Event Chair, Attorney Steve Sumner, attributed the increase to adding corporate sponsorships for the first time ever, as well as strong community support.
“The fact that we’ve been able to significantly increase the amount of money raised over the past two years shows me this event will only continue to grow,” said Sumner. “We are excited about the possibility of what next year can bring.”
Gallivan, White & Boyd was the Event Sponsor, with Greenville Swamp Rabbits, Greenville Technical College, Merl F. Code, and Fluor as Community Sponsors. 94.5 The Answer was Media Sponsor for the event.
