You might not recognize his name, but I'll bet you recognize his work. The events Charlie Gay has organized have been enjoyed by millions. After beginning his career at age 22, Charlie began organizing events for Margaret Thatcher at age 24 and later promoted some of the biggest names in music including Luciano Pavarotti, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran, Fleetwood Mac, and Phil Collins.

Charlie Gay moved to the United States in 1991 to join Cher's personal management team. With Frank Yablans, founder of Buena Vista and head of Paramount Pictures, Charlie co-founded Promenade Pictures, and he also organized events for the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Candlestick Park, and the Washington, D.C. Mall.

With all of the work and travel in his life, you'd think Charlie had no time for changing the world. You'd be wrong. Charlie Gay's real joy is in his work with Humanity Unites Brilliance, or HUB. HUB is a for-profit organization striving to bring people out of mere survival and into self-empowerment and sustained abundance.

Charlie Gay has always been driven by enthusiasm and passion, two traits that have brought him both success and failure. Luckily, Charlie's successes have outnumbered his failures. In fact, some of his other successes include his work with Nelson Mandela's Mineseeker Foundation and his organization efforts for Billy Graham's final crusade.

Charlie Gay has always had a passion for uniting people, whether it was through music or through charitable organizations. He believes people all over the world have a desire to do something great, but they don't know how to start or where to send their money. That's where HUB comes in. It unites people who have a common goal so that the goal can be reached.

An example of this uniting can be found in Mozambique. Storms had forced people into massive refugee camps. Non-profit organizations were low on money and resources, and even the United Nations World Food Program was 70% short on funding. Charlie spoke to Heidi Baker about the situation because she had been a primary care-giver in the country for over 20 years.

Heidi knew she couldn't feed all these people without help, so Charlie jumped at the chance to help. With help from Larry Jones of the non-profit Feed the Children organization, Charlie was able to acquire over $2 million worth of meals through the for-profit company Nourish the Children. The meals came from a factory in China.

Look within yourself. What is your strength? What is your goal? What piece of the puzzle is missing to help you attain your goal? The saying holds true, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll never go hungry." Reach out to others, and together you can make a difference!
