ABOUT
Philanthropy Inspired by the Needs of our Community (PINC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to aiding those individuals most in need of a helping hand. PINC, founded in 2008 in the Central Valley, is made up of service-oriented young women; each of whom recognizes that the charitable needs of our community are constantly evolving. Therefore, the organization’s members devote time and resources to raise money and provide volunteers for other local non-profits. Every year PINC organizes and hosts its signature fundraising event benefiting a pre-designated charity that is presented and voted upon by its members. A high degree of dedication and commitment is required to ensure each is a resounding success.
