Over the last 27 years, Locke has been president and held every other position on the board of Carolina Children’s Charity—an organization that helps families pay for medical costs arising from children's birth defects—and then some. As a founding member, Locke is at every fund-raiser, and just since last January helped raise $433,000. CCC has awarded grants totaling $3.7 million to thousands of children to help pay for a variety of medically-necessary treatments, ranging from a few dollars for a medical alert bracelet to the thousands needed annually to cover medication and supplies for uninsured children with type 1 diabetes.
