President's Message
Greetings and welcome to the Hillsborough County Chapter of The Charmettes, Inc. website. Hillsborough County Chapter is one of nineteen chapters within the organization.
Our commitment to this community is through financial support, volunteer hours, education, and health care. Our major focus, and also our national project, is to provide financial support for the eradication of cancer through cancer research and cancer awareness projects.
Since organizing in 1971, the chapter has continually supported various agencies, schools, churches, and families within Hillsborough County. The chapter is made up of dedicated women committed to improving the quality of life within the community through advocacy and services.
