Why should you support the SC Campaign's work you ask? Well, here are some reasons...
South Carolina has the 11th highest teen birth rate in the U.S.
Teen childbearing costs South Carolina taxpayers $197 million annually.
15 teens (age 15-19) give birth every day in South Carolina.
57% of South Carolina high school students report they have had sex.
5,532 teens (age 15-19) gave birth in 2012 in South Carolina.
We need YOUR help to combat this issue!
Donate $75 or more on May 6 and get a FREE, limited-edition Jonathan Green poster (pictured below) to commemorate the SC Campaign's 20th Anniversary! Posters signed by Jonathan Green will be sold at the 20th Anniversary Celebration on May 7 for $100 and unsigned posters will be $50, so make sure to get yours fast!
As you pull up to the Columbia Museum of Art, you will hear the rhythmic sounds of the Logan Elementary School Steel Drum Band playing in the plaza. You can dance right out of your car and onto our red carpet and leave the rest up to the nice gentlemen of Southern Valet. Boogie on up to the front entrance, but WAIT! Don't forget to get your photo taken in front of our special backdrop. You will also want to pick up these glam shots at the door at the end of the event.
Upon entering the art museum, you will be greeted by some friendly SC Campaign faces who will check you in. You will notice a gorgeous, limited-edition Jonathan Green poster available to purchase, and only 100 are signed, so don't delay!
At this point, the only thing left to do is have fun!
Grab a drink and some hors d'oeuvres, provided by Classic Catering. Or if a raw bar is more your style, pick up some oysters from Pearlz Oyster Bar. Sip and nibble while browsing the silent auction items, which include:
If you'd rather bid in the live auction, then you're in luck! We will be auctioning off a round of golf for three with Grammy-award winning artist Darius Rucker (yeah, the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish) and a luxurious golf getaway in the Blue Ridge Mountains at The Cliffs. You can also bid on artwork that will match perfectly with your home's decor by celebrated artist Jonathan Green.
After you've perused all of our wonderful items, stop by the honoree area and read about the 20+ people who have made a huge impact in teen pregnancy prevention South Carolina over the past 20 years and make sure to introduce yourselves when you see our honorees on the dance floor. Maybe you know some of them already!
Speaking of dance floor, grab another drink and head over to see The Root Doctors, they will be playing your favorite covers all night long! And while you're over there, make sure to duck into the Orientation Gallery and check out a video that features all of the SC Campaign's honorees of the past 20 years.
After you've won a round of golf with Darius, danced so hard that you had to take your shoes off and filled up on delicious morsels, you may be thinking about heading over the afterparty at the Sheraton, only a couple blocks away. But don't forget to pick up your red carpet photo!
