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 so much work to be done, it seems as if Charlie would have no time for anything else, but in fact, his real pride and joy lies in his work with Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB). A for-profit organization, HUB diligently strives to help people out of survival mode and bring them into a mode of 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.

Through music or charity, Charlie Gay has always been passionate about uniting people. He knows that all people have goals and desires. They all want to help others, but not everyone knows how to go from desire to action. That's what the HUB organization does - unites people who have a common goal so that the goal can be reached.

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.

Everyone can help others. Everyone can reach goals. Look inside yourself and ask yourself where your talents lie. 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." Money isn't the answer. Unite with others toward a common goal and feed off each other's strengths to change your community and your world!
