Business Expert Grant Cardone Donates $113,000 to Boy Scouts of America
MIAMI (PRWEB) March 27, 2019 -- Business expert and social media influencer Grant Cardone is known for being generous, and on Tuesday he just gave $113,000 to Boy Scouts of America. It is one of the largest donations in the history of the Cape Fear Council in Wilmington, North Carolina, one of the leading Boy Scout councils in the Southern region of the United States.
“The entire Cape Fear Council Scouting community wishes to extend our sincerest appreciation to Mr. Grant Cardone for his incredibly kind and generous financial gift. Mr. Cardone’s beneficence will be invested to further the time-tested programs of the Boy Scouts of America which have been fostering leadership, character development and a duty to God and country in our young people for over a century. The Cape Fear Council serves an eight-county area in southeastern North Carolina and the impact of Mr. Cardone’s generosity will be felt for quite some time to come.” —Jonathan P. Widmark, Scout Executive and CEO
While Cardone hasn’t discussed many of his donations publicly, the Boy Scouts fit within his broad style of philanthropy. The donation came about from a live-stream video on January 2nd over social media where Cardone promised to give the first caller half of the day’s entire sales proceeds from his online store to the caller’s charity of choice. The other half would be donated to the Cardone Foundation, which is Grant’s not-for-profit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, including providing mentoring and financial literacy education to underserved and at-risk populations.
“My dad died when I was ten years old and it left a massive void in my life,” said Cardone. “I want to give kids a chance to grow and develop in ways that I never had the opportunity to.”
Cardone also donated $465,000 to the Cardone Foundation on February 3rd with portions of sales from his Cardone University during the 10X Growth Conference 3, the largest entrepreneur conference in the world.
