The Below Deck Star Captain Lee grew up “poor with holes” in his shoes

Captain Lee Rosbach loves to give back – especially after growing up “poor” in Michigan.

73-year-old star Below Deck spoke to Page Six about her humble beginnings, helping billionaire Patrick Carroll hand out $ 100,000 worth of shoes to needy children at Wednesday’s Kicks for Kids charity event in Miami.

“As a kid growing up poor with holes in his shoes, I know what a new pair of sneakers can do for someone, whether they want to play sports or even just fit in,” said Rosbach.

“Today it was special to be able to see the smiles on these kids’ faces when we handed them a new pair of sneakers.”

Carroll, 43, has teamed up with influential shoe designer Ben Kickz to hand out 600 pairs of sought-after sneakers to members of the Boys and Girls Club of Miami-Dade. Carroll, a Florida native, relied on the organization in particular – and now sits on the board of directors.

Captain Lee Rosbach — “As a kid growing up poor with holes in his shoes, I know what a new pair of shoes could mean to someone,” said Page Six star Below Deck.

“As soon as I found out that Patrick Carroll was making these gifts for the kids from the Boys and Girls Club, I knew I wanted to go down there and help him,” added Rosbach.

The captain of the yacht personally delivered the kids stylish kicks in the back of a truck with Carroll and the other Phaedra Parks Bravolebits.

A 48-year-old graduate of Real Housewives of Atlanta brought her sons Ayden, 12, and Dylan, 9, to show them the importance of philanthropy.

“It was amazing to be able to bring my boys to devotion. Watching them interact with the kids to make sure each child loves their shoes and has the right size made me very proud, ”said Page Six.

“Coming to Miami with my sons to join Patrick Carroll and support the Boys and Girls Club was an amazing experience,” she explained. “My personal mantra has always been, ‘Success is not what you accumulate for yourself, but rather what you give to others.’

A single mother who shares her boys with her ex-husband Apollo Nida explained that the occasion was “very special” as her late grandmother taught reading at her local boys and girls club in Athens, Georgia.

Patrick Carroll and Captain Lee Rosbach — The Carroll event benefited the Boys and Girls Club of Miami-Dade, the organization he relied on as a child.

“During the summer vacation, I was her junior assistant and loved watching the students’ progress,” she told us.

Announcing the event last week, Carroll – one of Miami’s top real estate investors with more than 30,000 properties in his portfolio – teased that he would take his sneaker charity on tour.

“After that first stop in Miami, I decided to do the same in many cities across the United States.” Carroll wrote via Instagram. “Which city should we go to after Miami? Thinking about New York … “

Patrick Carroll is distributing the shoes to the children — Carroll was teased that his charity event “Kicks for Kids” was about to hit the road.

Carroll made headlines due to his exaggerated generosity last month. As reported exclusively by Page Six, the entrepreneur took the stage at a star gala in Manhattan and pledged to donate $ 1 million to CARE for Special Children if other attendees can match his donation together.

Carroll eventually raised his contribution to $ 1.5 million, urging Leonardo DiCaprio to donate the last $ 50,000 that helped the peace cover that amount.

Just a few weeks ago, Carroll paid $ 2 million for a vintage car and “Top Gun Experience” at the LuisaViaRoma x Unicef gala in Capri, Italy. He outbid participants such as DiCaprio, 47, Jared Leto and Vanessa Hudgens.
