Employees of Founders Group International (FGI), Myrtle Beach’s largest golf course ownership group, brought holiday cheer to 58 families through their annual Founders Christmas Drive, culminating in a celebration December 18 at Wild Wing Golf Club.

The employee-driven initiative transformed the Wild Wing Clubhouse into a winter wonderland, where families gathered for an evening filled with holiday activities, a warm meal, and community connection. One of the highlights of the celebration was a gingerbread house decorating session, where families worked together to create sweet masterpieces and lasting memories.

The event showcased the company’s commitment to community engagement, going beyond traditional gift-giving to create a holiday experience. Families and FGI employees enjoyed dinner together, embodying the spirit of community that defines the holiday season.

The charitable initiative represents one of the largest employee-led holiday giving programs in the Myrtle Beach area. FGI employees took ownership of every aspect of the event, from organizing donations to planning the activities that made the evening special.

“This Christmas season isn’t just about gifts under the tree—it’s about giving to your family and your community,” said Kim Weaver, FGI’s Director of Human Resources. “We had the honor of hosting these incredible local families as part of the Founders Christmas Drive, an initiative close to our hearts that ensures every family experiences the joy of the season.”

The success of the Founders Christmas Drive relied on widespread support throughout the organization. Employees and contributors donated not only gifts but also their time and effort to ensure each family could enjoy a holiday celebration at Wild Wing and at home.

Founders Group International, which operates 21 golf courses throughout the Myrtle Beach area, has established itself as not only a leader in the golf industry but also as a company dedicated to making a positive impact in the local community. The Founders Christmas Drive exemplifies how corporate citizenship, when driven by passionate employees, can create meaningful connections and lasting impact in the community.
