The Butch Oustalet Foundation believes in the transformative power of generosity. The team is dedicated to creating a ripple effect of kindness and compassion on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Their goal is to honor Butch’s legacy by fostering a culture of giving through strategic partnerships, fundraising events and heartfelt outreach. “I often say that when I’m gone, I don’t want to be remembered as a good businessman. I want to be remembered as a good person. And I believe the Good Lord is still guiding me to that goal,” Butch said. The foundation supports amazing organizations such as the Lighthouse Academy for Dyslexia, Children’s Advocacy Centers of Mississippi and the Home of Grace. The most recent recipient of the foundation’s generosity was the Home of Grace, which has served as a beacon of hope for over 50 years for those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Founded on faith and rooted in love, the Home of Grace has become a leader in successful recovery by introducing Jesus Christ as the catalyst for hope, healing and quality of life. The Home of Grace offers highly effective and affordable programs that help both men and women find hope, freedom from their addiction and most importantly, healing in effort to bring families back together. Money was raised at a local restaurant where the foundation threw a “Get Down and Derby” themed party that had all the pomp and circumstance you’d expect from the Kentucky Derby. “On July 1, the foundation made a huge donation of $80,000 to Home of Grace,” Butch said with pride. “It’s not my money; it’s God’s money. God has blessed me in so many ways and He expects me to help and bless other people, and so that’s what I do.” Butch, and the foundation, have big plans for the future, and he hopes that his fellow dealers will also continue to give back to their communities — helping the underprivileged, supporting good causes and bringing the bright light of compassion to otherwise dark situations.
