Broadstreet Global raises $50,000 for Habitat

Greenville-based private equity firm Broadstreet Global hosted its fourth annual Charity Classic flag football tournament on October 16, uniting hundreds from the Upstate business community for an afternoon of friendly competition, camaraderie, and giving back.

This year's event raised $100,000 in support of two organizations central to Greenville's social fabric: Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County, which builds pathways to affordable homeownership for working families, and Shriners Children's Greenville, which has provided world-class pediatric specialty care regardless of ability to pay since 1927.

Fluor Field, the award-winning home of the Greenville Drive that helped catalyze the city's downtown transformation when it opened in 2006, provided the backdrop for an afternoon that felt equal parts tailgate party and community celebration. Teams representing Broadstreet, the two nonprofit beneficiaries, Contender Development, and A3 Communications faced off in spirited competition while spectators enjoyed food, entertainment, and the welcoming atmosphere that has made the ballpark a beloved, local landmark.

Throughout the tournament, Broadstreet Global amplified the giving through its signature touchdown pledge, donating for every score and adding an extra element of excitement to each play. The initiative has become a defining feature of the Charity Classic, turning every touchdown into tangible community support.

"Homeownership is the foundation for so much of what we hope for our families: stability, opportunity, and the chance to build generational wealth," said LaTonya Phillips, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County. "Events like the Charity Classic demonstrate what is possible when the business community invests not just in economic growth, but in ensuring that growth includes everyone. These funds will help more families in Greenville County achieve the dream of owning their own home, and we are deeply grateful to Broadstreet Global and everyone who participated for making that possible."
