NEWEST HALL OF FAME MEMBER

In 2001, The Jesse Helms Center opened the Charles A. Cannon Free Enterprise Hall of Fame with the four founding members: Charles A. Cannon, A.J. Fletcher, R.J. Reynolds and William Henry Belk. 

Since opening, the Helms Center has inducted ten additional members who were pillars of their community and made a lasting impact on their state and country.

We call them “Free Enterprise Heroes” because they exemplify the spirit of entrepreneurship, hard work, good character and philanthropy that has made our country great. 

Their contributions will continue to inspire, mold, and shape the future of free enterprise in America.
