Charlie Gay might be an unknown name to you, but the events he has organized have been enjoyed by millions. He began his impressive career when he was only 22 years old. By age 24, he was organizing events for Margaret Thatcher. Soon, he was promoting some of the top events in the world for people like 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.

Enthusiasm and passion have always been the driving force behind Charlie Gay's successes (and failures). Zeal causes people to do great things, but it also gets people into trouble sometimes. Charlie is no exception. Thankfully, his good has far outweighed his bad. He has even worked with Nelson Mandela's Mineseeker Foundation and helped 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.

Because Heidi felt she was not able to deal with the hunger problem herself, Charlie contacted Larry Jones of the non-profit Feed the Children organization. They in turn contacted the for-profit company Nourish the Children, and in doing so, they were able to deliver $2 million worth of meals to the starving refugees in Mozambique via a factory in China.

To help others, we must first look at ourselves. What are your talents? What are your strengths? As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll never go hungry." Throwing money at a cause isn't the answer. Dig deep within yourself and unite with others to make great changes in your community and the world.
