Signature Events

Each February we host an oyster roast in Murrells Inlet with all you can eat oysters and live music. Chicken bog also is served. All proceeds benefit Substitutes for Santa.

We celebrate our anniversary each summer. GSYP was originally formed as gsSCENE for Young Professionals in 2008.

Each year we honor outstanding young professionals who are nominated by fellow GSYP members and our GSYP ambassadors.

Held each December in partnership with SOS Care, Substitutes for Santa provides a magical Christmas experience for more than 100 local children in Horry County. The children are first taken to Fun Warehouse for games and pizza, then they are taken to Walmart to buy Christmas presents. Each child also is sent home with a bag of necessary household items.
