Meet Charlie Fairchild

For Charlie, supporting the Bon Secours Foundation is an expression of something deeply personal.

She has watched that belief come to life through new facilities, expanded technology, and care that reaches the underserved and vulnerable in her community. For Charlie, giving her time and resources is simply what it looks like to invest in people.

Deylon’s Story

When 26-year-old Deylon Quarles went to the emergency room for stomach issues, he expected a quick fix.

Meet Paul Craven

For Paul and Leslie Craven, supporting the Bon Secours St. Francis Foundation is a year-round commitment with a festive kickoff. Each holiday season, the couple hosts their signature Martinis and Mistletoe Party and supports the Festival of Trees. Throughout the year, they give to programs like mobile mammography and Project SEARCH, programs they see making a real difference in Greenville's underserved communities. For Paul, the pride of giving back is personal and visible every time he spots the big pink mammography bus out in the community.

Today, Samuel is back to work and on track with his treatment plan, grateful for the donors who stepped up when he had nothing to fall back on.
