Networking To Help Children (NTHC) 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. Every month, NTHC partners with a different local venue to host professional networking events in support of varying children’s nonprofit organizations! We were the partnering organization for a recent event at La Bamba in North Palm Beach and received all the 50-50 raffle proceeds!
Networking To Help Children is partnered with 9PickUp. Just give them a call to donate gently used furniture, electronics and household items. A portion of the sales is given back to NTHC and eventually back to their charities.

Chapter Participant, Londyn Leon, recently had unexpected surgery on her foot and ankle. The following week, she was at practice with her girl’s golf group at Keiser University. She was determined to compete in her PGA Junior League event, less than a week after her discharge from the hospital.
“My First Tee Coaches helped me adjust my swing from the wheelchair for all my clubs, so I kept weight off my ankle and foot. I felt so special to be included after my surgery,” Londyn said.
