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 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.

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.

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!
