For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

  • CF Foundation Comment Letter to South Carolina Governor on Masks
    August 24, 2021 The Honorable Henry McMaster State House 1100 Gervais Street Columbia, South Carolina 29201 Dear Governor McMaster, On behalf of the nearly 500 people in South Carolina living with cystic fibrosis (CF), we write to urge South Carolina to amend budget bill H. 4100 to exempt all K-12 schools from policies prohibiting mask requirements to ensure the necessary flexibility to protect students and staff during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we urge you to direct school districts to offer remote learning during the 2021-2022 academic year if masks are not mandated as an accommodation for students at higher risk for severe illness from the virus, including those with CF. About cystic fibrosis and COVID-19 Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects more than 30,000 people in the United States, including 250 children in South Carolina. CF is a complex, multi-system disease that causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and digestive system, which can lead to life-threatening infections. Cystic fibrosis is both serious and progressive; while great strides have been made in the treatment of the disease, lung damage caused by infection is irreversible and can have a lasting impact on length and quality of life. As COVID-19 continues to present a serious and ongoing risk to South Carolina residents, both children and adults living with CF remain at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, as compared to those without underlying conditions.1 Community transmission of the virus remains high in South Carolina and, as of August 23rd, over 17,300 new cases in South Carolina have been reported in the past week, the 13th highest number of any state in the country.2 In light of the recent emergence of the Delta and other new variants, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that Americans continue to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 and protect those who are most vulnerable to infection.3 Amend Budget Bill H.
