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.

Moulin Rouge Costume Ball

Guys With Ties hosted the first ever Moulin Rouge Costume Ball at Cans Bar and Canteen in Uptown Charlotte on October 28th. All proceeds from the event went to support The NoDa School of Arts, which provides programs in fine arts to underprivileged children in the Charlotte area. The event drew over 1,500 people and raised over $15,000 for the charity.
