Big Thoughts

Thanks to everyone who attended the True North Society Chips for Charity fundraiser on November 17, 2023, at the J.C. Newman Cigar Factory in Tampa!  It was an incredible evening of gambling, bidding and raising money for our scholarship program. A huge thank you to the event sponsors and raffle donors whose support was vital to the success of this event. Special recognition goes to our Platinum Sponsors, Crown Automotive Charities and ReliaQuest, as well as our Gold Sponsors, Florida Funders, Murphy Auto Group, and Stonemont Financial for their generosity!

Think Big for Kids and True North Society are thrilled to share that we raised proceeds of approximately $70,000 to go directly towards our Think Big for Kids True North Passion Scholarship! We will now have the ability to scholarship even more kids, changing their future career paths.  True North Events Committee and Board member, Marla Carangi, shared her excitement about the event, “Chips for Charity was the first annual event and certainly won’t be the last. This is an event we are excited to continue to have year after year — striving to constantly make it bigger and better!  Everyone had a ton of fun for a great cause. Not only did we raise money to go directly towards our passion scholarship, we also enrolled new mentors into the program.”
