This season, Clemson Athletics’ men’s and women’s soccer teams proved that every corner kick can make a difference far beyond the field.

Together, the teams attempted an impressive 114 corner kicks — and Novant Health turned each one into something even more meaningful. In a pledge designed to support children facing critical illnesses, Novant Health committed $100 for every corner, resulting in a donation that directly benefits Make-A-Wish® South Carolina.

The contribution helps grant life-changing wishes for children in our local community, offering hope, joy, and moments of relief during some of their hardest days. Ryan D. Lee, president of Novant Health Greenville, had the honor of presenting the donation, underscoring how powerful community partnerships can be when athletics and healthcare come together for a cause.

It’s a reminder that every kick, every effort, and every act of giving can create a meaningful impact on and off the field.
