"Joe Hardy was more than a mentor; he was a friend, a guiding light, and a source of inspiration for so many young lives. His dedication to helping kids succeed and his unwavering kindness left a lasting impact on everyone he supported. We established The Joe Hardy Foundation to carry forward his legacy of compassion, guidance, and hope. By providing scholarships to children across North Carolina, we aim to open doors to opportunity and ensure his positive influence continues for generations to come."
