Tuesday May 17th: Gates open at 6 PM, First pitch is 7:05 PM

In partnership with Greenville County Schools and Furman University, the Drive will be hosting their annual Drive for Excellence celebration on Tuesday, May 17th. This evening is all about recognizing high-achieving student-athletes in Greenville County, as each student-athlete with a 4.0 GPA or higher will receive complimentary admission to the game plus in-game recognition and celebration for their hard work and many accomplishments.

A pregame reception for student-athletes and coaches in the 500 Club will begin at 5:30 PM. As part of the reception, special guest Jackie Carson, the current head coach of the Furman Women’s Basketball Team, will deliver a keynote address congratulating these students for their accomplishments and encouraging future success in all of them.

During the game, on-field recognitions will honor the top performing school in each sport, as well as the school with the highest overall GPA among its student-athletes.

There were 157 varsity sports teams across Greenville County High Schools that had a 4.0 or higher GPA, a 20% improvement over the last time we were able to host this event during the 2019 season!

Join us on Tuesday night at Fluor Field to help celebrate these hard-working students for their efforts both in the classroom and on the field!
