He believes that supporting local nonprofit organizations like GCCM helps create goodwill in the community.
GCCM expressed their gratitude on social media, stating that the donation will have a significant impact on the local community. The collaboration between Merit Health Biloxi, Biloxi Regional Medical Center, and GCCM demonstrates the importance of working together to support those in need.
