About the Contest
Read below to find out more about the True North 2010 NCAA Charity Challenge
The NCAA Charity Challenge was established for the purpose of raising awareness of the very important charitable organizations that serve our communities and to provide an opportunity for our clients, vendors and partners to support their favorite charity. True North Consultant’s would like to thank all of our clients, vendors, and partners who participated in our inaugural 2010 NCAA Charity Challenge. Additionally, we would also like to thank all the charitable organizations who partnered with True North to make this a truly special and unique event.
Congratulations to this year’s winner, Randy Balk of the City of Fulton, who managed to avoid bowing out early like several of the #1 seeds. Because of Randy’s superior sports acumen, the Autism Society of Illinois received a donation in the amount of $1,000 directly from True North Consultants. True North is proud to support the Autism Society of Illinois in their efforts to improve the lives of Illinois individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorders. We hope you will take some time to learn more about each organization and their important mission.
