44th Annual C.T.Lowndes and Company Sertoma Football Classic Kicks Off High School Football Season

For the past 43 years, high schools from around the Lowcountry have come together to kick off football season at the Sertoma Football Classic. This year’s event, once again sponsored by C.T. Lowndes and Company, will be Thursday, August 21st and Friday, August 22nd at The Citadel’s Johnson Hagood Stadium. 



This annual tradition not only signals the beginning of high school football in the Lowcountry, but also assists local nonprofits to continue their missions with 100% of the proceeds going to local charities and schools. 



Windwood Family Services, Eagle Harbor Ranch, Trinitas Foundation, Camp Happy Days, Boy Scouts of America, Ronald McDonald House, Charleston Area Therapeutic Riding, West Ashley JROTC, SCHSL, participating schools and other charities were all recipients of last year’s Sertoma Football Classic. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased from participating high school cheerleading teams or at the games. Gates open at 4:00 p.m., with the program starting at 5:00 p.m.


During the Sertoma Football Classic, there will be a $5.00 parking fee for all lots, including The Holiday Alumni Center Lot, Stoney Field Lot, Altman Center Lot and MUSC Lot. 

 Tickets for the 2014 Sertoma Football Classic will also be available the day of the Sertoma Classic at the gates. Although the entertainment and excitement of the game usually takes the spotlight, the importance of the game is continue the giving mission of the Sertoma (SERvice TO MAnkind) Club of Charleston. Three local nonprofits are the main beneficiaries from the ticket sales: 

 Windwood Farm Family Services provides help, hope, and healing through behavioral, educational and therapeutic interventions that enhance social functioning and well-being for children and their families. Well known for their residential group living campus - Windwood Farm Home for Children in Awendaw - they also offer an outpatient and community based prevention services clinic in Mount Pleasant. 
Eagle Harbor Ranch, located in Summerville, is a place of refuge and shelter for children ages 4 to 21 who are orphaned, neglected, abused and abandoned. It is their desire to empower each child to rise above their past through love, structure and an opportunity to succeed in life.

 Trinitas Foundation creates an atmosphere which will enrich individuals and families through community involvement and the fostering of good moral values. Located in downtown Charleston, Trinitas is run by Rev. Herman R. Robinson, III.

Farewell to Dean Stephens of WCIV-TV

  Working in local TV news was something I wanted to do since I was a child...ask my parents, I would stage interviews and anchor from the couch in our ranch-style home when we had smooth wood hugging the TV and its 4 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS during the 1980s. My dad is a news lover and from a young age, I always watched news. Most parents in today's world would say "She's too young. You can't expose kids to that!" But when did a Nelson truly listen to other people? I grew up watching Charleston TV news. I idolized local reporters during Hurricane Hugo like Cathy O'Hara, had a crush on Dan Krosse and was even scared to walk up to Kellen Butler when we were both at the Music Farm. Local TV was different back then in the 90s/2000s. I've told the story often but, humor me here... I was dating my boyfriend-now-husband, Darren, and was the traffic reporter for ABC News 4 in Charleston. I had never been a traffic reporter until then, but figured when I ...

Trauma Expert Dr. Jennifer White-Baughan Accepting New Patients

Image
Charleston’s loss is Sausalito's gain. Expert trauma psychologist, Dr. Jennifer White-Baughan Ph.D, has relocated her office from Charleston, SC, to Sausalito (1505 Bridgeway) and a part time office in Mill Valley. Her impact upon not only myself, but many trauma survivors, is beyond explanation and I’m here today because of her EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming) and trauma survivor work with me  due to the murder of my friend in our home.    Ironically, the trauma expert became a trauma patient.   While living in Bali (during her transition from East Coast to West Coast), it was a surreal time for Jennifer— the people, the smells, the beauty — the last thing she expected was to be pummeled by a motorbike in May 2016, knocking her down to the gravel ground that not only imprinted small rocks into her head and face… but imprinted upon her grey matter. She was injured with a severe brain bleed in her visual cortex. Her daughte...

Happy Juice Express Debuts in South Carolina

Image
Great news! Our new client, Carolina Global Inc.'s new beverage Happy Juice Express is debuting in stores as you read this. Its expected arrival date is June 12, 2014 but many stores have received early shipments and the product is flying off the shelves and in some areas, selling out in less than 30 minutes.  From their site, "Happy Juice Express is a delicious fruit-flavored malt beverage served in a 24 oz. bottle with 12% ABV.  While the product is brewed Wisconsin (and many thanks to our friends in the midwest!), the brand, taste, and concept were developed from the blood, sweat and tears of three entrepreneurs from the great state of South Carolina.  In addition to tasting great, the Happy Juice Express brand exemplifies a lifestyle for the free-spirits and go-getters who move through life with a smile."  There's much more to come about this SC born & raised product but it's moving so fast...stay tuned. Not only will you find it in conve...
