Celebrate
People who deserve recognition, joy and a moment made especially for them.
The Cove Gives
Giving is in our DNA.
D.N.A. — Donate. Nominate. Award.
Celebrating people, causes and moments that matter.
A note from The Cove
What DNA means to us.
At The Cove, DNA is a sequence: businesses and people Donate, Charleston Nominates, and the Cove Awards someone deserving.
We’ve always believed that a business should mean something to the community it calls home. The Cove was created around connection, with our customers, our neighbors and the people who make Charleston such a special place to live.
We love beautiful clothes, but what excites us even more is finding meaningful ways to brighten someone’s day, celebrate people who deserve to be celebrated and lend a hand when it matters.
Throughout the year, The Cove Gives will bring together our community, local businesses and organizations for special moments inspired by the people and causes that matter to all of us.
Sometimes it may be a teacher preparing for a new school year. Sometimes a teenager getting ready for prom. Sometimes a first responder who spends every day taking care of everyone else. And sometimes it’s simply an opportunity to remind someone that they are seen, appreciated and deserving of something special.
Giving back isn’t a campaign for us. It’s part of The Cove.
