It’s time for an evening of innovation, impact and heart: It’s The Pitch presented by Goldman Sachs and powered by PNC!
On Wednesday, April 29, five social entrepreneurs will pitch LIVE on stage at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, competing for nearly $300,000 in funding. These innovative thinkers have built local startups that tackle some of the biggest challenges in North Texas, and The Pitch is one of the biggest nights in their professional lives. You'll hear their stories—the struggles, the breakthroughs, the big ideas they've developed to improve access to education, income and health right here at home. You'll vote for your favorite. When the Social Innovator of the Year is announced and the room erupts in cheers, you'll feel something you don't get during most nights out.
Hope. Pride. The sense that real change is coming and you had a hand in it.
All the while, you'll enjoy great music, delicious food and energizing networking—while knowing that every change-maker in that room is investing in the future of North Texas just by showing up.
As one of our most dedicated supporters, we'd love for YOU to be one of them.
As a Woman of Tocqueville, you and a guest can join us!

Through United Way Reading Day, We’re Creating Strong Readers and Even Stronger Communities
March 6 marked this year’s United Way Reading Day presented by Atmos Energy, a very special day that brought together nearly 1,000 volunteers across more than 700 classrooms for one simple, powerful purpose: to read.
Thanks to our dedicated Women of Tocqueville Society volunteers and supporters, more than 13,000 pre-kindergarten and elementary students across 40 campuses and 11 school districts experienced the joy of storytelling—and the spark that reading can ignite in a child’s future.
Reading at grade level by third grade is one of the strongest predictors of long-term academic success. When children reach this milestone, they are far more likely to graduate, pursue higher education and achieve economic mobility, which enables them to afford quality healthcare.
