Let’s get down and dirty. Several local business leaders broke a sweat to help with Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County’s 13th annual CEO Build.

What is the CEO Build?

Like other Habitat builds, the end goal is a completed house. This one will be on Zora Street in the Nicholtown.

The CEOs and their teams personally work on-site during construction, donating elbow grease, funding, and volunteer hours for the project.

Beth Paul — of the Bon Secours Wellness Arena and the co-chair of the 2025 CEO Build — said, “This is about more than building a home; this is about building a community.”
