Eastwood Homes makes unprecedented gift benefiting Atrium Health Levine Children’s
A successful Eastwood Classic golf tournament raises $195,000 to advance pediatric care
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 11, 2025 — Eastwood Homes announced a donation of $195,000 to Atrium Health Foundation in support of Atrium Health Levine Children’s in Charlotte. The gift resulted from the record-breaking success of Eastwood Homes’ 13th Annual Eastwood Classic golf outing.
Representing a longstanding philanthropic partnership between the award-winning homebuilder and Levine Children’s, Eastwood Homes — headquartered in Charlotte, N.C. — has supported the hospital through contributions from every home sale in the Charlotte market, in addition to the annual golf outing. To date, Eastwood Homes has donated a total of $1.8 million to Levine Children’s, including significant support to help launch the hospital’s Seacrest Studios in 2013.
“As a local homebuilder, we are so proud and grateful to be a part of something right here in our local community,” said Bryan DeGabrielle, Charlotte Division President of Eastwood Homes. “We have seen the impact of the hospital through stories from our employees and our vendor partners, and during our visits to the hospital. It warms our hearts to be able to make an impact like this, right here in our community.”
The Eastwood Classic pairs Eastwood Homes employees with the builder’s vendor partners for a fun and competitive day of golf. The event is held in September at Springfield Golf Club in Fort Mill, S.C. This year’s donation is the largest in the golf outing’s history; in 2024 the event raised $185,000.
DeGabrielle thanked Eastwood Homes employees and its vendor partners, especially Brilin Electric, the title sponsor of the Eastwood Classic for five years, and credited partners like Brilin for the tournament’s growth and success.
“The hospital opened in 2007, and you have been with us nearly the entire time since 2008,” said Meghan Clithero, facility executive and vice president of Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital. “The programming that you support – we could not do that on our own. We rely on community partners for the programs that make this place special. We are here to provide excellent clinical care, but the things that make us sparkle like Seacrest Studios are because of partners like you and we are so grateful.”
For Eastwood Homes team members, the annual golf tournament is a way to give back to the community. “This is one of my favorite events because we are able to give back to the community in such a big way,” said Tara Whiteley, Digital & Marketing Manager and facilitator of the Eastwood Classic. “Not only are we able to make a big impact, but we do that alongside our team and our vendor partners, together. It’s such a great day each year knowing that we are doing something that truly helps people.”
