Big Blue recently paid a special visit to Robins & Morton to thank them for their unwavering support of Spartanburg Methodist College.

Through their annual contributions to initiatives such as The Angel Fund, The Book Scholarship Fund, and the Pioneer Pantry, Robins & Morton continues to make a meaningful impact on the lives of our students.

Their generosity and commitment are helping pave the way for today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders. Big Blue thoroughly enjoyed the visit and the opportunity to connect with the incredible Robins & Morton team. Thank you for investing in the future of SMC!

PIONEER GIVE DAY KICK-OFF

The moment is here — Pioneer Give Day 2026 has officially kicked off!

For the next 24 hours, we are rallying together to reach our goal of raising $26,000 to directly support Spartanburg Methodist College students. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact. Every dollar and every donor truly matter.

This year, your impact goes even further through the Trustee Leadership Challenge. Our Board of Trustees will match Pioneer Give Day gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 — doubling the power of your generosity and accelerating us toward our goal.

Your support provides tutoring assistance, textbooks, research materials, emergency aid, and essential resources that remove barriers and empower our students to succeed. When you give today, you are investing in opportunity, access, and life-changing education.

Make your gift now and help us unlock the full $10,000 match. Together, in just 24 hours, we can create an extraordinary impact for SMC students.

We are excited to officially kick off Pioneer Give Day this Thursday at noon! Our goal is bold and meaningful — to raise $26,000 in 24 hours to directly support Spartanburg Methodist College students.

Every dollar and every donor matter. There is truly no gift too small. A $15 gift provides a student with access to one-on-one tutoring at no cost to them. A $100 gift helps supply essentials for research and class projects. And $750 covers textbooks for one student for two full semesters — removing a major financial burden and allowing them to focus fully on their studies.

Although Pioneer Give Day officially begins Thursday at noon, you are welcome to make an early gift and help us build momentum toward our goal. Your generosity fuels opportunity, removes barriers, and reminds our students that an entire community believes in their success.

Together, we can meet this challenge — and ensure SMC students have the resources they need to thrive.
