“Guys with Ties” is a non-profit organization founded in Orlando, FL, in 2005, by eight young professional men committed to making a difference within the community.  We raise funds and awareness for local charities by planning exciting, themed parties throughout the year with a target audience of young professionals. The Board of Directors includes Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, Entrepreneurs, and Sales Executives. Their common bond is the will to give back to the community that has given so much to each of them.
