A Year of Fundraising Fun!
So, how did they manage to pull off such a fantastic total? Throughout the year, TD Synnex organized an array of fun and engaging community events. One of the highlights was a lively celebration at Fluor Field in October, where families and friends gathered for an evening of fun, food, and fundraising extravaganza. Other events included the TD Synnex Share the Magic Day at the Greenville Drive and a spirited golf tournament. It truly was a year filled with camaraderie and a shared purpose!
Community Leaders in Action
The initiative is very close to the hearts of those in TD Synnex. Peter Larocque, the retired North America president and founder of TD Synnex Share the Magic, expressed his gratitude, saying, “It is truly inspiring to see the continued generosity of the TD Synnex family and the profound impact these charities have on our community. The funds raised not only support crucial programs but also provide hope, healing, and life-changing experiences for those who need them most.”
Joining him in celebrating this milestone was Reyna Thompson, the new North America president of TD Synnex, who reassured everyone that even with new leadership, the commitment to Greenville’s community engagement and the Share the Magic initiative remains strong.
A Legacy of Giving
Since its start in 2011, TD Synnex Share the Magic has made an awe-inspiring impact, raising over $30 million across its eight chapters throughout North America! It’s more than just a fundraising effort; it’s a mission to create meaningful change, as noted by Bob Stegner, senior vice president of North America marketing. “This initiative reflects the heart of our company,” he shared proudly.
A Heartfelt Tribute
To cap off the event, an exciting announcement was made! TD Synnex’s Greenville office located at 39 Pelham Ridge Drive is being renamed the Peter Larocque Center in honor of its founder. This recognition speaks volumes about his dedication and the legacy of kindness he has fostered in the region.
Making a Difference Together
In just 14 years, TD Synnex Share the Magic has distributed over $15 million to these amazing Upstate children’s charities. This reflects a community that truly cares and knows how to come together for a noble cause.
As we reflect on the joyful spirit of giving during the festive season, let’s cheer for the organizations and individuals working tirelessly to improve the lives of our youngest citizens right here in Greenville. Cheers to many more years of magic!
