Join us in celebrating Anne Perrin Flynn, pictured here with her grandchildren, on receiving the highest civilian honor in South Carolina: the Order of the Palmetto.
Our President & CEO Paige Stephenson said it best in her recommendation of Anne for this award:
"For more than four decades, Anne has demonstrated extraordinary civic leadership, philanthropy, and service that have strengthened communities and improved lives across South Carolina.
Anneโs longstanding commitment to United Way of the Piedmont reflects her dedication to the common good. A long-time major donor, she has generously supported work spanning education, financial security, health, and basic needs.
Beyond her philanthropy, Anne has provided sustained leadership as a member of the Tocqueville Giving Society Committee, where she and her late husband, Larry Flynn, encouraged fellow philanthropists to join them in advancing United Wayโs vision of a united community where everyone thrives."
Congratulations to Anne on this well-deserved recognition! We are grateful for your steadfast support of our mission and leadership throughout our community and state.
