Thrive Upstate Gives Back

The City of Greenville and the Cancer Survivors Park recently provided an opportunity for Thrive Upstate participants to be a part of making their community great.  Too often we deny individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to reap the intrinsic rewards of volunteerism and contributing to the community, simply because they lean on others for assistance in other areas of their life.  Giving back to the community is a big part of Thriving in Life!   The Thrive team worked side by side with the City of Greenville crew to plant, weed, work, and help beautify the wonderful Cancer Survivors Park.

Greenville Drive Fun!

Greenville Drive Game

We enjoyed a great afternoon at Fluor Field, “Greenville’s Front Porch.”  The warm, sunny afternoon at the ballpark was perfect.  Thanks again to AJ Gallagher & Co. for the tickets.  Coincidentally, two individuals supported by Thrive Upstate started their jobs at Fluor Field the same day!  It was really cool to have team Thrive both cheering in the stands and working behind the scenes…it captured exactly what we’re trying to accomplish with community integration.
