Meet Our Team

Charles “Chuck” Miller knew from a young age that one day he would want to establish his own foundation, and he credits his mother for showing him early on the value of giving to those less fortunate.He reminisces that, “For as long as I can remember when I was a child, for Christmas we would do a lot for people. We’d cook all day and bring food to a family and get them presents. I remember the joy on their faces.” He says that battles with alcohol and drugs, stemming from losing both parents early in life are what delayed his success and ultimately the dream of the foundation.

A combination of deep self-reflection, therapy and family-support has led to over 14 years of being sober, and his business and personal life has thrived since then. “Now I’m finally in a position to do what I’ve wanted to do forever,” Miller says. “I’ve done well and as a company we have made a lot of money, but nothing is as fulfilling to me than creating this foundation.” Miller says that the happiest times of his life was when he was a kid playing sports, and because it teaches so many life lessons he knew the foundation would be a big supporter of youth sports programming. He also coached travel baseball for over a decade in his spare time. “You learn so many valuable things,” he says, “like being on time and being a team player. You learn how to both win and lose and how to hold yourself accountable. There’s so much good discipline there for kids. And you never know what may happen to a kid who plays sports. He or she may never be a professional athlete, but that structure will definitely flow into the rest of their lives. Some of our greatest citizens have been athletes.”
