Charity Spotlight

Strong communities begin with healthy people—supported physically and mentally through connection, compassion and access to the care and resources they need most.

So we partner with organizations, like Operation Patriots FOB (OPFOB), that help individuals and families lead healthier, more hopeful lives.

OPFOB reduces isolation and helps prevent suicide among veterans, active-duty military, first responders and their families. Through free outdoor recreation, peer engagement and purpose-driven programs, OPFOB creates a community where those who have served can reconnect, find purpose and know they never have to face life's battles alone.

"Our mission is measured in lives, not numbers. And yet, the numbers tell an incredible story."
—Stephanie Brown, OPFOB Co-founder & CMO

Since joining Heritage Champions Fore Charity in 2022, OPFOB has received more than $65,000 through the Heritage Classic Foundation's support and matching program. Today, the organization has welcomed 55,000+ visits to its 268-acre Ridgeland camp, provides every program and service 100% free and is supported by more than 4,000 volunteers.

Here’s a fresh look at how donor support continues to create brighter futures across South Carolina.

To recap, we’re championing six key pillars of impact: Arts & Culture, Children, Education, Environment, Health & Welfare and Scholarships.

Each one plays a vital role in strengthening our community, and every contribution of time or funds helps broaden reach and deepen outcomes.

Since our founding, the Heritage Classic Foundation has given $65.6 million to causes across the Lowcountry.

Here’s where your generosity is making a difference today:

• Arts & Culture: $747K
• Children: $887K
• Education: $650K
• Environment: $133K
• Health & Welfare: $1.1M
• Scholarships: $177.5K

Together, we can do even more for the organizations that bring learning, wellness and inspiration to life.
