Charles Cannon’s journey began with a simple purpose — to bring people together for something greater than themselves. As a community leader and advocate, Charles witnessed firsthand the power of unity in overcoming challenges, creating opportunities, and transforming lives.

What started as local conversations with friends and colleagues about how to better serve South Carolina’s communities quickly evolved into a movement. Charles believed that progress begins when individuals and organizations collaborate, share resources, and support one another. That belief became the foundation of Community Cares — a network built on compassion, connection, and commitment to impact.

Through years of dedication, Charles has helped hundreds of community leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and volunteers find common ground to strengthen their communities and create meaningful change.
