Charlie Gay's name might not be familiar, but his events certainly are. After starting his career at age 22, Charlie began organizing events for Margaret Thatcher when he was only 24. It didn't take long before he started promoting events for some of the biggest names in music, including Luciano Pavarotti, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran, Fleetwood Mac, and Phil Collins.

In 1991, Charlie Gay moved to America to work with Cher's personal management team. He also co-founded Promenade Pictures with Frank Yablans. (Frank is the founder of Buena Vista and the head of Paramount Pictures.) Since that time, Charlie he has organized events for the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Candlestick Park, and the Washington, D.C. Mall.

With all of this work to do, you wouldn't think Charlie Gay has much time left over for changing the world, but his real pride lies in his work with HUB, or Humanity Unites Brilliance. HUB is a for-profit organization that strives to bring people out of a world of survival and into a world of self-empowerment and sustained abundance.

Both his successes and failures have always been driven by Charlie Gay's enthusiasm and passion. Zeal has led people to the pinnacle of success, but it has also gotten people into a lot of trouble. Charlie is no different, but his successes in life have greatly surpassed his failures. Two of his recent successes include his work with Nelson Mandela's Mineseeker Foundation and his commitment to organize Billy Graham's final crusade.

Charlie Gay has always been passionate about bringing people together whether through charity or music. He believes everyone has a desire for doing something great, but most people stop with desire. They don't know how to act upon it. That's what makes HUB so great. People with common goals can come together uniting their individual strengths.

Take Mozambique for example. In recent years, floods forced many people from their homes into refugee camps. Non-profit aid programs had no money or resources available, and the United Nations World Food Program short by 70% on expected funding. Heidi Baker had been a primary care-giver in the country for over 20 years, so when Charlie spoke to her, he knew something needed to be done.

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!
