About

Networking To Help Children, Inc. was started in 2009 by Realtor and networking guru, David Chirico. Having made a name for himself as a professional networking leader, David always dreamed of uniting business networking with philanthropy. Moreover, David had always had a passion for supporting charities that benefited children or others in the community who were afflicted in some measure. Better still, by donating to a different charity every month, David knew that his efforts would be felt by the masses. By 2014, Networking To Help Children officially became a Non-Profit Organization.

To date, Networking To Help Children has raised over $860,500 for its unique cause and has never lost focus of its goal to help children. We are always looking for new charities that fit our profile, sponsors to host our events, donors to support the effort, volunteers to spread our mission and business professionals to come out and network for a cause at our monthly events.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support charitable organizations who have a local reach in our community, both financially and with volunteerism, through donations and the support of sponsors and attendees of our social and professional events.

How We Got Started

Networking To Help Children, was founded in 2009 to unite business networking and philanthropy in order to improve our community and benefit children.

"We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future."

- Franklin D. Roosevelt
