Guys with Ties ~ Guys with Ties was started in 2006 by five young professionals who had a desire to improve their community. Their goal was to raise funds for worthy charities in and around Charlotte that were in need of auxiliary fund raising efforts and awareness to meet their charitable goals. Ideally, they wanted to provide a service that was mutually beneficial for the charities and those giving their time and money. The organization now raises money for smaller charities in the greater Charlotte area by hosting events that allow young professionals social and networking opportunities. All funds collected from the sale of admission tickets to these events directly benefit the charity selected. Guys With Ties is a registered non-profit organization in the state of North Carolina and has applied for 501(c)(3) status from the federal government.

David O'Sullivan, President, is from Charlotte, NC. After studying abroad in Valencia, Spain David received a degree in Finance and Spanish from North Carolina State University. Upon graduation, David moved to Colombia and Venezuela where he spent the next 4 months traveling. After his return, he worked at Compass Group as a Financial Analyst and later as a Business Analyst at Corporate Investment Bank of Wachovia.

In addition to his work with Guys with Ties, David has worked with Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross.

In his own words:
"Guys with Ties is a great group of young professionals who are looking to make a large impact on the operating budgets of smaller, lesser known charities in the greater Charlotte area."
