Don't Miss Out - Limited Tickets Remaining
for TATT 10th Anniversary Celebration;
Governor McMaster to Serve as Keynote Speaker
We have only a limited number of individual tickets remaining for Ten at the Top's annual Celebrating Successes luncheon, which this year is also serving as the culminating event for TATT's 10th Anniversary. The event is being held on November 20th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Greenville Convention Center.

Our special guest for the luncheon will be South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, who will speak about the importance of collaboration and partnerships in growing the collective capacity for South Carolina.

During the luncheon we will be recognizing Ten at the Top's "Power of 10" Founding Funding Partners as well as organizations and businesses celebrating milestone anniversaries of 20 or more years in 2019. We also will be awarding the Welling Award for Collaboration and the Burdette Leadership Award.

Prior to the luncheon, the five finalists for the 2019 Hughes Investments Elevate Upstate Vibrancy Grants will make their grant presentations. Hughes Investments will also be hosting coffee and networking prior to the luncheon.

You are welcome to come to either the Elevate Upstate Grant Presentations (there is no charge for this) or the ticketed Celebrating Successes Luncheon, or both.

Individual tickets for the luncheon are $50 and can be purchased through the link below. Table & event sponsorships are also available. Please click here for more details on sponsorship opportunities .     
 
Current (2019) TATT partners receive tickets as part of your support benefits (you should have already received an email with a special code and instructions).

UpstateVibe365 Feature of the Month:
Stumphouse Park Offers Activities for Everyone
Maintained by the city of Walhalla, Stumphouse Park is 440 acres of natural beauty and a recreational paradise. Within the park are picnic tables and a covered event pavilion that is available to rent for outdoor gatherings—but for those who really want to explore, there is much, much more.

The Stumphouse Tunnel was originally supposed to be a railroad tunnel connecting Charleston and Knoxville, but with the interruption of the Civil War, it was never finished. Today, it’s a family-friendly ¼ mile walk (flashlights recommended)—and its consistently cool temperature inside makes it a welcome treat in this unseasonably warm weather. It also creates ideal conditions for making blue cheese; Clemson University used it for that purpose in the 1940s and 1950s, until air conditioned cheese ripening rooms were built on campus in 1956.


Leadership Level Partners
Ten at the Top is fortunate to have many great funding supports and appreciate all who help ensure the current and future success of the organization. In 2019 we have introduced our Leadership Level Funding Partners. These partners have committed to support TATT with contributions of $10,000 or more in 2019. If your company or organization is interested in joining TATT's Leadership Level Supporters, please contact Allison Drew today.
