Louie Herron, owner of Louie Herron Toyota, made a special visit recently to the Pete Nance Boys & Girls Club of Greene County to share his inspiring life story with club members. A popular speaker at churches, school assemblies, colleges, banquets and business meetings, Herron encouraged students with the message that they each had value and could become anything they wanted to be — regardless of their circumstances.

In addition to running his dealership, Herron manages “The Love Bucket,” a charity he created to benefit local communities. The charity is funded by a portion of his dealership’s proceeds. The successful businessman is also penning his first book about his experience surviving a volatile childhood, furthering his education in college and later being drafted by the NFL. Louie Herron’s primary goal for sharing his story and contributing to his community is to change lives and influence people. The Pete Nance Boys & Girls Club is grateful for his interest in our young Pete Nance Boys & Girls Club members, his sponsorship of the Festival of Trees fundraiser and for enthusiastically sharing his dynamic and inspirational life story.
