FOLDS OF HONOR PALMETTO STATE

Our educational scholarships support private school tuition or tutoring in grades K-12, tuition for college, technical or trade school, and post-graduate work. Appreciation for U.S. military service members and first responders is the single most unifying position held by Americans. On this we agree: those who protect our freedom and our families deserve our unwavering support.

FRIENDS OF THE REEDY RIVER

Founded in 1993, Friends of the Reedy River (FoRR) is a volunteer-run nonprofit committed to conserving and enhancing the Reedy River through advocacy, education, and action. FoRR is the only organization devoted solely to protecting, preserving, and restoring this historically overused and neglected river. For 150 years, the Reedy has played an indispensable role as an economic generator to the Greenville area. Today it serves as the focal point of a 30-year business and tourism revitalization in the Greenville. Yet, with surges in population and business growth, FoRR recognizes that it is more important than ever to be proactive in addressing potential negative impacts on the Reedy. We do this through river cleanups, riverbank collapse prevention, natural runoff control installations, educational programs, science-based civic involvement, water quality monitoring, and collaboration with like-minded conservation nonprofits, committed citizens, and local government.
