david chirico

Founder

David Chirico, founder of Networking To Help Children (NTHC), established the organization in 2014 with a mission to improve the lives of children in local communities through networking and philanthropy. David’s passion for connecting people and helping children in need inspired him to create a unique platform where business leaders come together for a greater cause. NTHC’s monthly social networking events focus on raising awareness, increasing volunteerism, and contributing funds to nonprofit organizations that benefit underserved children and their families in Palm Beach County.

Under David’s leadership, NTHC has raised and donated over one million dollars to local nonprofits. In 2016, NTHC became a 501(c)(3) organization, enabling it to expand its impact. The organization’s vision is to continue increasing donor contributions to improve children’s lives and to grow the NTHC brand of generosity beyond Palm Beach County, eventually reaching statewide, nationwide, and even global levels.
