The CAN-DO Foundation is thrilled that President Trump has granted clemency to Charles \u201cDuke\u201d Tanner so he can be reunited with his family, significant other, Rita Cushenberry, (a nurse) and son, Charles Tanner Jr.   Duke was an undefeated light, heavy weight boxer from Gary Indiana who boxed in one of Trump\u2019s casinos when he was 18 years old.  He has always expressed remorse regarding the worst mistake he ever made, but that mistake does not define who Tanner is today.  He\u2019s extremely deserving of this second chance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
