Greenville, S.C. – On Oct. 10 the TD Synnex Share the Magic South Carolina chapter announced that its 16th annual fundraising drive has generated nearly $2.5 million for children’s charities across Upstate South Carolina. The celebration, held at the Greenville Convention Center, drew over 800 community members who enjoyed a dinner, live music, and both silent and live auctions.
Local charities receive vital support
The funds will be distributed to a roster of nonprofit organizations that serve children and families in the region. Among the beneficiaries are A Child’s Haven, which provides safe‑home placements for vulnerable youth; Make‑A‑Wish South Carolina, granting life‑changing wishes to seriously ill children; Clement’s Kindness, a local food‑bank initiative; and Pendleton Place, a shelter for families experiencing homelessness. The Meyer Center for Special Children in Greenville was also selected as the inaugural recipient of the President’s Choice Charity, highlighting the program’s commitment to special‑needs services.
National momentum behind the initiative
TD Synnex Share the Magic’s success in South Carolina reflects a broader national trend. This year the organization reported a total of $4.3 million raised across its five North American chapters. Since its inception in 2011, the signature charitable effort has accumulated more than $32 million for children‑focused nonprofits, demonstrating the power of corporate‑led philanthropy when paired with local volunteer enthusiasm.
Community involvement fuels the drive
Event organizers credit the strong turnout and generous contributions to the deep‑rooted sense of stewardship that characterizes the Upstate community. “Our neighbors understand the importance of caring for the next generation,” said the event’s host, a senior executive with TD Synnex. “When we come together for a common cause, we not only raise money—we strengthen the bonds that make Greenville a great place to raise a family.”
Attendees participated in a lively auction featuring items donated by local businesses, further underscoring the partnership between the private sector and charitable causes. The evening’s live music, performed by a regional band, added a festive atmosphere that encouraged continued giving.
Looking ahead
TD Synnex officials indicated that the fundraising drive is still open, with additional donations expected to push the total well beyond the $2.5 million mark before the campaign concludes. The organization plans to replicate the successful model in other South Carolina communities, aiming to expand its reach and impact for children throughout the state.
