Charles Cannon’s Story

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.

Our Conference History (Since 2019)

The Community Cares Conference began in 2019 as a small gathering of community leaders seeking to share ideas and strengthen partnerships. Since then, it has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated annual events bringing together nonprofit organizations, educators, business owners, faith-based leaders, and public officials. Each year, the conference expands its reach and impact with workshops, panels, and keynote sessions that focus on leadership, innovation, mental health, youth development, and social change.

Through every event, Community Cares remains dedicated to its founding vision to unite and empower those who are changing their communities for the better.
