The Bill Gatton Foundation honors the life and legacy of Carol Martin “Bill” Gatton, a successful businessman, generous philanthropist, and bridge builder.
“When I was 30, I thought I would retire at 40. When I got to 40, I thought I will wait until I am 50. When I got to be 50, I decided I would hold off until I was 60. When I turned 60, I decided I never would retire. A lot of people ask me why does a fellow like you want to keep on working. It’s simple. I want to keep making money so I can give it away to worthwhile causes.”
