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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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!
