Miami billionaire Patrick Carroll gave away truckloads of trendy sneakers to the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta in his quest to donate a Million Dollars worth of sneakers to underprivileged kids across the US on March 23. Patrick Carroll’s company  “CARROLL” is based in Atlanta, so this marked a special location for the CEO.

“I started my company in Atlanta, so to be here at the Boys & Girls Club speaking to the kids about the power of entrepreneurship means so much to me,” Carroll said. “I want them to know, ‘If I can do it anybody can.’”

Carroll is one of Miami's most prominent real estate investors with over 30,000 properties in his portfolio. So far, the self-made tycoon has given away $300,000 worth of this season's most sought-after sneakers to underprivileged kids in Tampa, Miami, Florida and in Atlanta, GA.  The real estate mogul and father of three boys, commissioned famed sneaker aficionado, Ben Kickz, aka the "Sneaker Don", to bring a Brinks truck filled with 600 pairs of high-end sneakers to distribute to members of the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta. 

Carroll continues his nationwide campaign to give away $1 million worth of sneakers throughout ten Boys & Girls clubs across the US. Carroll loves seeing the boy's and girls' faces light up upon receiving their sneakers. Next leg of the tour will soon be announced after his Atlanta participation. Growing up in Tampa, Florida Carroll relied on The Boys & Girls Club and their facilities to play basketball.
