Greenville Chamber President/CEO Ben Haskew note, “Leadership Greenville projects have been critical to so many initiatives to better our community over the years. Teaming up with the Greenville Drive to offer this fun, new event to support Pendleton Place is a winning combination for all involved.” To pre-register for the “Pinch Hit for Pendleton Place”, fans can visit GreenvilleDrive.com.

The event at Fluor Field will begin at 6 PM, and those wishing to attend can enter the ballpark through the Main Street Gates. Admittance to Fluor Field is complimentary.
All proceeds from the “Pinch Hit for Pendleton Place” event and Happy Hour will benefit Leadership Greenville Class 41’s project at Pendleton Place. Pendleton Place’s mission is to keep children safe and support families in crisis through prevention, assessment, and intervention.
Pendleton Place’s residential program offers a safe, loving home to youth who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Smith House provides a safe and comforting home for girls ages 11-21. In addition to basic needs like food and clothing, their residents are provided with counseling services, structured educational support, life skills training, financial literacy classes, civic engagement and other hands-on opportunities aimed at preparing youth for successful, independent living after foster care.
“‘Pinch Hit for Pendleton Place’ is a great opportunity for Drive fans to step onto Fluor Field and take their crack at the Green Monster while also contributing to a great cause,” added Drive General Manager Eric Jarinko. “We’re always excited to provide our fans with fun events that bring them even closer to us as an organization, and we couldn’t be happier to team up with Leadership Greenville, and the Greenville Chamber of Commerce as they assist Pendleton Place in supporting Upstate families and children.”
