Partnership Spotlight: Rotary Club of Charleston

If you’re a regular reader of our blog, you know that the Live Love Serve Foundation is a strong supporter of various non-profit and charitable organizations within the communities in which we do business. 

We also partner with a number of professional organizations in all of our markets who are working to make a positive impact on clients and partners within our industry. An organization we support in our Charleston market is the Rotary Club of Charleston, which has been serving the historic Charleston area since 1920. 

When asked “What is Rotary?” most people would answer that it is a service club, but it is actually much, much more. There are 1.2 million neighbors, friends and community leaders who come together as Rotarians to create positive, lasting change in our communities and around the globe. Rotarians see challenges in unique ways, think differently, seek unique solutions, act responsibly and make a difference.

How the Live Love Serve Foundation and CBI Workplace Solutions Partner with the Rotary Club of Charleston

Kerby Teller, CBI’s market leader in Charleston, sits on the board of the Rotary Club with his role focusing on community initiatives. Kerby has played a large role in connecting CBI, the Live Love Serve Foundation and the Rotary Club and has provided extensive support through his leadership and service. Additionally, Kerby has engaged other associates in our Charleston office to participate in volunteer events with the Rotary on a regular basis.

Ongoing activities that the Rotary Club of Charleston sponsors include:

  • Rotary Readers – Weekly rotations where club members read to elementary aged students for about 30 minutes each week. This activity helps build a child’s excitement for reading and gives them access to a mentor who can encourage them along the way.
  • Adopt a Highway – A quarterly activity where club members pick up trash to keep a section of highway clean. Afterwards they get together for adult beverages and group camaraderie.  
  • Entrepreneurship Classes – Weekly classes where Volunteers speak and mentor, a class of students at James Simmons Elementary.
