About

Shane Beamer is the head football coach of the University of South Carolina. He and his wife, Emily have three children and call Columbia, SC home.

The pair love living in Columbia and truly feel the warmth the community offers them and their children. Giving back to this community that has supported them so enthusiastically was important to the Beamers. They were both raised in families where they learned the value of helping others and doing what you can to better the community as a whole.

In 2022, Shane and Emily Beamer created The Beamer Family Foundation so they could improve the lives of children in the Richland County area by helping to provide educational and medical needs.

Being raised by educators themselves, they are all too aware of the challenges that teachers and students face when funding is short for educational resources and supplies. They know that impacting a future generation starts with educating the children of today. Partnering with local school districts and organizations, the Beamers are involved with ensuring children have the tools they need to not only succeed, but to thrive.

Children’s healthcare is also extremely important to them. As a board member of the local children’s hospital and an ambassador for Curing Kids Cancer, Emily saw first hand the need for financial support for treatment centers and medical needs. Meeting those needs means an opportunity for a child to get the best medical care possible, right here in the Columbia area.
