Meet S. Truett Cathy, Winner of the 2008 William E. Simon Prize for Philanthropic Leadership

By John J. Miller

S. Truett Cathy has committed his life to the faithful service of others—a virtue which he has instilled in every aspect of his life and work. As the founder and CEO of Chick-fil-A, Mr. Cathy dedicated his company to “glorify[ing] God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.” Through the WinShape Foundation, so named for its goal of “shaping winners,” Mr. Cathy supports a long-term foster care program, a summer camp that hosts nearly 1,800 children annually, an extensive scholarship program at Berry College, and a series of marriage-enrichment initiatives.
