Broadstreet Global's Fourth Annual Charity Classic

On October 16, 2025, Broadstreet Global, a private equity firm based in Greenville, South Carolina, organized its fourth annual Charity Classic, an engaging flag football tournament that brought together business leaders from across the Upstate community. Held at Fluor Field, the event was marked by friendly competition, team spirit, and a profound commitment to giving back to the community. This year, it successfully raised an impressive $100,000, which will be allocated to two important local organizations—Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County and Shriners Children's Greenville.

A Celebration of Community

The Charity Classic transformed Fluor Field into a vibrant gathering space that resembled both a tailgate party and a community celebration. Participants from various sectors, including Broadstreet Global, the nonprofit beneficiaries, Contender Development, and A3 Communications, engaged in spirited matches that illustrated the camaraderie and competitive spirit prevalent in the Greenville business scene. Spectators enjoyed food, entertainment, and the festive atmosphere that Fluor Field is renowned for, further enriching the sense of community.

During the tournament, Broadstreet Global amplified the event's impact through its touchdown pledge, which involved donations for every touchdown scored, creating an electric environment where every play counted towards community support. This initiative has become a hallmark of the Charity Classic, reinforcing the idea that every touchdown translates into real-world benefits for local families.

Impactful Contributions

LaTonya Phillips, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County, expressed her gratitude, emphasizing the significance of homeownership for families and its potential for generational wealth. She noted, "Homeownership is the foundation for so much of what we hope for our families—stability, opportunity, and the chance to build generational wealth. Events like the Charity Classic demonstrate what is possible when the business community invests not just in economic growth, but in ensuring that growth includes everyone." The funds raised will enable more families in Greenville County to achieve their dream of owning a home.

Similarly, Paul Finelli, Senior Director of Philanthropy at Shriners Children's Greenville, highlighted the vital role that local support plays in providing high-quality pediatric care regardless of a family’s financial status. "The generosity of our community has sustained Shriners Children's Greenville since we opened our doors in 1927," he stated. "When local businesses rally behind us through events like the Charity Classic, they make it possible for us to continue delivering life-changing care to children who might otherwise go without it."

Broadstreet Global's Commitment to Community Engagement

The Charity Classic has emerged as a cornerstone of Broadstreet Global's community engagement strategy, with previous events supporting other important initiatives, such as Upstate Warrior Solution and Sunday Dinner with a Twist. Joseph Baldassarra, President of Broadstreet Global, explained the motivation behind these efforts, saying, "Four years ago, we wanted to create something that reflected who we are as a firm and who Greenville is as a community. We invest in the Carolinas because we believe in the people and the potential here, and this tournament is our way of supporting the incredible organizations that do transformative work for families across the Upstate."

As Broadstreet Global continues to expand its philanthropic footprint, the Charity Classic exemplifies how private equity firms can play a pivotal role in enhancing the social fabric of the communities they serve. By aligning economic growth with social responsibility, Broadstreet Global illustrates its commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of local residents. The success of this year’s Charity Classic sets a promising precedent for future philanthropic engagements and demonstrates the power of community collaboration.
