Over the course of our century of service, United Way has benefited from the outstanding support and volunteer leadership of Greenville County’s corporate community. Among a long list of partners over the last 100 years, very few have surpassed the generosity, creativity and commitment to United Way displayed by Art Seaver and his team Southern First Bank.

Seaver, the founder and CEO of Southern First, served as United Way of Greenville County’s Campaign Chair in 2013 and was Chair of the Board of Directors in 2015. Thanks to his leadership, Southern First and its employees have ingrained United Way into its company culture and are often recognized for running creative and fun workplace campaigns.

In the video below, Seaver shares why United Way is so important to Southern First and his hopes for our community over the next century.
