We’re Glad to Be Here!
There is a power in our world that becomes palpable when we enable others to succeed, and that power has a lot to do with giving forward. The Glad to Be Here Foundation is our non-profit arm, and through it we provide funds for worthy organizations and charities all over the world. We partner with every client to share our personal and financial exchange to make the difference we want to see in the world.
We hope you too can take deep joy in knowing that for every one of these stories, there are children, mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers and entire communities of people reaching their hopes and dreams thanks to the work we do together.
“Thank you so much for this donation to Ronald McDonald house. It was a very generous and meaningful gesture, especially coming before John even arrived. We were very happy to share this with our audience yesterday right after John’s session which by the way, was nothing short of fantastic! On behalf of McDonalds and HAVI Global Solutions, thank you very much!!”
