Tocqueville Society, Alpha Chapter

Members of the Tocqueville Society, Alpha Chapter enable us to help thousands of Nashvillians in need. We are grateful for their extraordinary commitment and leadership.

We honored Dr. Tommy Frist as the founder of the Tocqueville Society at an event hosted and sponsored by Waller Landsen Dortch & Davis LLP on December 8, 2009. Whether you were able to attend the event or not, we think you will enjoy the brief on-line photo montage of this historic, magical evening. We invite you to experience the highlights of this memorable occasion.

The United Way Tocqueville Society was named after the French historian Alexis de Tocqueville, who admired Americans and their unique spirit of giving. Founded in 1981 by Dr. Tommy Frist, Jr., membership has grown from one Society in Nashville, TN with 24 donors giving just over $500,000 to a nationwide United Way movement of 28,207 donors contributing $500 million annually. We are proud to recognize these local philanthropists who annually contribute $10,000 or more to United Way. Through unparalleled commitment, Society members reflect extraordinary concern, foresight and dedication to inspire a better way of life for everyone.

“I must say that I have seen Americans make a great deal of real sacrifices to the public welfare; and have noticed a hundred instances in which they hardly ever failed to lend a faithful support to one another.”
