ADT SOCIETY

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society was inspired by the French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville, who admired the American spirit of philanthropy, and the organization was founded 1981 by Thomas F. Frist, Jr.

Today, Tocqueville Society members carry on that same spirit of selflessness and cooperation. Their generosity creates a lasting impact in our community.

Locally, there are 75 members, who invested more than $1.3 million in United Way's 2020 Campaign to raise the quality of living for all of us in Stark and Carroll Counties. Our community thanks you.
