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.

Mozambique is a great point of example. Massive flooding recently forced people from their homes into large refugee camps. Non-profit aids were out of money and resources, and even the United Nations World Food Program was unable to help. Charlie spoke to Heidi Baker about the situation to find out what needed to be done. Heidi had been a primary care-giver in Mozambique 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.

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!
