April 23, 2016
Downtown businesses to be celebrated at Fluor Field
GREENVILLE, SC – Elliott Davis Decosimo and the Greenville Drive are pleased to announce the sixth annual “Drive Business Downtown: A Celebration in the Heart of Greenville,” teaming Upstate businesses together in one of the largest networking opportunities of the year. The annual event sponsored by Elliott Davis Decosimo combines business and baseball (the Greenville Drive vs. the Columbia Fireflies) and will take place on Tuesday, May 10 at Fluor Field.
A centric theme is the important role downtown businesses play in the economic development and prosperity of the Upstate, highlighting key members in finance and banking, law, manufacturing, retail and non-profit. Attendees will enjoy pre-game networking opportunities, special appearances by community and business leaders, on-field games and more.
“Drive Business Downtown has proven to be one of the best networking opportunities in Greenville and we are excited about the sixth annual event,” said Rick Davis, managing shareholder of Elliott Davis Decosimo. “The event has grown consistently and this year there are a record number of companies participating as business boosters. Drive Business Downtown continues to provide a unique setting for local business professionals to meet, connect and develop new opportunities for growth.”
Drive Business Downtown will continue its tradition of providing charitable support to a local non-profit. Proceeds from this year’s event will be donated to United Ministries – an organization that provides opportunity and advocacy for people in the community who lack education or employment skills, are in a financial crisis or are homeless.
“The support that Drive Business Downtown has received from our local business community over the last six years has been tremendous,” said Craig Brown, Greenville Drive president and co-owner. “This year, we are excited about the opportunity to celebrate the economic growth of the downtown business community by giving back through United Ministries.”
