Why We Shuck: Supporting Local Conservation

As a small grassroots nonprofit, SPACE relies on community support and fundraising events to carry out our mission of protecting greenspaces and managing publicly accessible nature preserves throughout Spartanburg County.

All proceeds from A Shucking Good Time directly support critical conservation efforts right here at home—from private lands conservation to public lands stewardship and habitat restoration. Help keep Spartanburg wild!

From Celebration to Conservation

SPACE is proud to participate in Spartanburg Water’s Oyster Shell Recycling Program, a sustainable initiative that gives oyster shells a second life. After the feast at A Shucking Good Time, the shells are collected and recycled to help restore oyster habitats along the South Carolina coast. It’s a simple but powerful way to turn celebration into conservation—and keep our waterways thriving for generations to come.

A Huge Thank You to Our Sponsors!

We’re incredibly grateful to the local businesses and individuals who make A Shucking Good Time possible. These generous sponsors care deeply about sustainable growth and local conservation, and their support helps us protect the greenspaces that make Spartanburg special.

We couldn’t do this without them—so help us show some love and join us in celebrating the power of community-driven conservation!

Presenting Sponsor ($Priceless)

His commitment to conservation and community shines through not only in leadership, but in generosity—donating his time, talent, and the incredible skills of his team to help make A Shucking Good Time the most anticipated party in Spartanburg year after year.
