Greenville Triumph, The Blood Connection Partner to Kick-Off 2022 Season
Banco de Comida I Food Pantry
Greenville Parks + Rec Afterschool Program
Cannon Ball Social
It’s time once again for the Upstate to community to roll up their sleeves and join the Lifesaver League! For the second year, The Blood Connection, the Upstate’s community blood center, will partner with The Greenville Triumph to promote blood donations across the Upstate.
The Blood Connection and the Greenville Triumph began their partnership in 2021, collecting more than 150 units of blood across four separate drives. One unit of blood has the power to save three lives – meaning blood donors with the Greenville Triumph potentially impacted 450 lives.
“The Triumph is proud to partner with The Blood Connection. In any community, blood donation is critical, and we look forward to bringing more awareness towards the cause,” said Megan Kolak, Senior Vice President of the Greenville Triumph Soccer Club.
This year, the Triumph and TBC will kick off their partnership and season with a blood drive on March 18 at Hampton Station from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. As a thank you for donating, all blood donors will receive an exclusive Hummel blood donor jersey and a $20 eGift card. Appointments can be made by going to thebloodconnection.org/triumph, but walk-ins are also welcome.
2022 Triumph players and coaches will be available to meet fans starting at 6 p.m. Also, during the event, Triumph season ticket holders will be able to pick up their season tickets.

Upstate International is celebrating our 10 year anniversary of International Month, and we want you to join in on the fun!
UIM is a month-long program of internationally themed events designed to highlight, promote and celebrate the rich international and cultural diversity we all share in and benefit from living in the Upstate. Since it began in 2013, we’ve had over 100 internationally themed events happening throughout the Upstate every March providing opportunities for hundreds upon hundreds of people to be introduced to a variety of cultural experiences. Upstate International is the catalyst that encourages, and the glue that holds together, all of the international events happening in March in an effort to educate and excite the public and celebrate the Upstate’s international diversity and connections.
Thanks to over 50 event hosts, we have been able to offer everything from international coffee and cuisine tastings, university lectures on global issues, various internationally themed musical performances, international film/documentary screenings, bi-lingual story times, various St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, international cooking classes, international dance performances and lessons, an international trivia night, an African Gala, a Korea Night, a Be Irish for a Day event, a Caliente Cuba night, international artists receptions and wine tastings, a town hall dialogue about Islam highlighting that knowledge ends extremism, and so much more….
The Virtual Railfan cameras were installed on Tuesday, July 6th at the Hub City Railroad Museum. There is one camera looking north and one looking south.

The Spartanburg Science Center, Spartanburg Area Conservancy, and the USC Upstate Foundation joined forces in January of 2021 to offer a comprehensive STEAM program to children in the community. ‘Seeing Through Their Eyes’ offered students ages 3-18 an opportunity to learn about and document the nature they saw around them during the pandemic, with the goal of keeping kids engaged, off screens, outdoors and educated during the winter months.
Thanks to the generosity of the Spartanburg County Foundation, the Mary Black Foundation, the USC Upstate Foundation, the EMK Foundation and the City of Spartanburg, the program provided 325 take home kits with a disposable camera, a nature guide to direct the photos, and suggested activities. The guide led kids down the Cottonwood Trail, to the animal room in the Science Center, and to the USC Upstate Arboretum to photograph local plants and animals, learn about patterns in nature, and more.
