Spartanburg Downtown Sertoma Club: Backing Local Charities
Since its inception in 1956, the Downtown Spartanburg Sertoma Club has consistently worked towards raising funds for children’s charities in the Spartanburg region. In the past ten years alone, they’ve generously donated over $360,000 to a handful of local beneficiaries. Some of these include the SC School for the Deaf & Blind, Shriner’s Hospital for Children, HOPE Center for Children, and more. It’s truly heartening to see such dedication towards the upliftment of the community.
