stories of more than 200 celebrities who have
attained success in athletics, entertainment, and

walks of life to reach their potential. The Project
will publish these celebrity observations in a
forthcoming book, The Common Thread.

3. Common Thread Project

community, successful people often make it a
priority to give back. Similarly, the Common
Thread Project is committed to assisting various
children’s services projects in South Florida.
Through donations of limited edition artwork and
other contributions, the Common Thread Project
has supported the work of Big Brothers and Big
Sisters of Greater Miami, the Gary Carter
Foundation, and the Autism Project of Palm
Beach County. The project encourages donations
by community members to these and other
agencies at www.thecommonthreadproject.com.
