Since 1999, the DAE Foundation non-profit has existed to educate student-athletes, their families and the community.

For over 30 years, Mike and the HOSTILO team have dedicated their lives to serve people in their time of need. Whenever possible, they inform and educate the community about opportunities and resources available for them.

How did you meet?

If you know Jermel President, you know he can strike up a conversation with anyone.

That’s just what Jermel did earlier this year. While shopping at Tanger Mall, he recognized a familiar face and went to introduce himself to Mike Hostilo. Jermel knew Mike from the commercials airing in Charleston.

They exchanged business cards and scheduled a meeting at Panera in North Charleston. While drinking coffee, the two talked about sports and the lowcountry community. They chatted about how they are both striving to make an IMPACT.

Jermel invited Mike to join him on the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast. Mike’s episode aired in March of this year (check it out here: https://apple.co/3ReoLHu).

Because of Jermel’s outspokenness, Mike Hostilo knew Jermel would make a great Community Partner. Jermel likes to get to know people and hear their stories, as evidenced by his podcast interviews.

This collaboration between the Mike Hostilo Law Firm and the DAE Foundation is one for the books!

“Let’s have a conversation….”
