MARC4U was founded in 2026 as the serendipitous solution to combine two passions: 1) a desire to educate those on a topic where few may place a lot of emphasis and 2) to honor Marc D. Cantor, a recently passed serial entrepreneur whose passion was education. Through MARC4U, we combine these passions and bring awareness in many forms of education so the hard-earned money of those who've spent a lifetime accumulating it, keep it right where it belongs!
Fraud is rampant in our society. You can pick up any newspaper, read online, or listen to the news and hear 1000's of stories about how people got scammed. But for those who got scammed, it is often too late. What if we could get to those folks before they got scammed? What if we could educate them on what scammers do, what scammers might say, how they might act to defend themselves… could we keep the money where it belongs…in the pockets of those hard-working individuals who, in many instances have worked a lifetime to accumulate that wealth whether it be in the millions or even 10's to 100's of thousands? When you believe in education the way Marc did, enough to set aside scholarships for those who would turn to education to solve life's problems, the mission is simple: Get to the people before the scammers do. Teach them, arm them! Help them see the world in a way that protects them and those who care about them. Teach those they trust, protect them as well!
Marc was no stalwart academician by his own admission. However, as 40-year entrepreneur before his unfortunate passing in 2025 due to a two-year battle with colon cancer, he was a voracious learner. His businesses ranged from Pressure Washing to Corporate Recruiting and from Manufacturing to Internet Radio. His passion was learning about anything that could improve conditions for either his family, his friends, or his clients. He knew that in the end, all of us are responsible for protecting our own assets and Marc lived by this credo. In fact, on his memorial plaque it reads, "Embrace Education or Embrace Poverty!" A mission Marc began within his family in life, will now be carried on with the world in his passing.
