Good morning from Ebenezer Middle School in Dalzell, SC! @DukeEnergy teammates are ready to show the students how to close fuses while learning about careers in the energy industry.
I’m still in shock after being presented with the Sumter Chamber's Chairman’s Award at today’s Chamber Week Summit. This recognition means so much to me, not only because of the honor itself, but because of how proud I am to serve alongside such an incredible group of leaders.
To strengthen communities across South Carolina as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, Duke Energy Foundation is awarding $275,000 to nonprofit organizations through a first round of funding as part of its America250 initiative.
“As we look back on our country’s 250-year anniversary, it’s an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s history while working to support the next generation. We are proud to partner with local organizations who can help care for the Palmetto State now, so future generations can enjoy its beauty. Together, we can create lasting impact in the communities where we live and work.” - Tim Pearson, Duke Energy South Carolina president.

Gorgeous evening in #Sumter for the first Chamber Week Reception. Tonight David was presented with his “chair,,” a longstanding gift for the outgoing chairperson. Looking forward to serving another year with this fantastic organization.
