Gertrude Walden receives ‘cool’ donation from Tocqueville Society

The Gertrude Walden Child Care Center was in a hot and desperate situation before the new school year started.

Two large air conditioning units used to cool the main building in East Stuart broke and were deemed non-repairable.

Executive Director Thelma Washington did not have the $10,000 to fix the problem, so she turned to the United Way of Martin County for help.

A call went out to United Way's donors about the dire situation and within 24 hours several Tocqueville Society members donated the $10,000 needed for the new units.

About Tocqueville

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society is a national philanthropic society created by the United Way of America to recognize and honor people who have made extraordinary gifts to their communities through United Way.

The society was named for French historian Alexis de Tocqueville, who admired America’s unique spirit of volunteerism to help people in need.

In 1990, Frances Langford Stuart founded the Martin County chapter of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society with four members. Today, with the help of active chairpersons and generous community members, the chapter has grown to 35 members.

Membership in the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, with an annual gift of $10,000 or more, is one of the most effective ways individuals can make a powerful difference in the lives of people who need help.
