Leaders creating a legacy of giving

TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY

The Tocqueville Society is named for French author Alexis de Tocqueville who applauded the American desire to take a personal role in the advancement of society by combining philanthropy and service. Today, that same spirit of giving lives on in our Tocqueville Society members who collectively invest more than $3 million each year to create a brighter future for women, children, veterans and families in the 757.
