Columnist Ernest Hooper wrote, “Call him the undercover philanthropist. The 66-year-old March spent 20 hours a week volunteering at Metropolitan Ministries as a dishwasher, never revealing to the rank and file that he heads a car dealership empire that earned $672 million last year. Or that he’s a winning professional poker player who has won—and given away—large jackpots. March draws his inspiration from a hardscrabble upbringing, and in the process he inspires all of us.”

Over the last few years, Tony has slowly begun to reveal the extent of his philanthropy. “I’m a private person and it was easier when I just showed up and volunteered and wrote checks,” Tony says. “But I’ve come to realize I need to speak out. I want people like me to see the difference they could make. And the satisfaction I get! It makes me feel good.” Part of this change of heart was Tony’s recent birthday.

“A lot of people my age are thinking retirement, but I like this second career as a philanthropist,” Tony says. “I’ve reached the top of the mountain with my success, and now I get to go back down and help others in their own journeys to the peak. I am blessed.”
