Monday, I had the pleasure of co-chairing the SC Philharmonic Fundraiser Golf Tournament along with my long-time friend Tommy Fortson who is THE “Terminix of the Carolinas.” He is an incredible philanthropic individual and so is his company. It is always a pleasure to collaborate with him on this worthwhile event.

Columbia is blessed to have one of the most fantastic symphony orchestras in the country led by Maestro Morihiko Nakahara. It was a truly beautiful day and proof that South Carolina is one of the best places to live. In addition to the wonderful weather, we had a great time with plenty of food, libations, and golf, all for a charitable cause. I am glad that people flock back to our tournament every year because it has a reputation for being one of the finest charity golf tournaments in the Midlands. Here’s to the continuing success of the SC Philharmonic under the leadership of Music Director Maestro Nakahara and its wonderful team and musicians!

We’re here for the people of South Carolina!
