68- CHUCK NICHOLLS — Member, Tuesday’s Angels; co-founder US Consumer Products Safety Comm.
Tuesday’s Angels began life when a small group of community-minded got together for dinner (on the first Tuesday night of the month, get it). These angels agree to do what they could to help their friends and others living with HIV/AIDS. The year was 1993, and when Chuck Nicolls came to Fort Lauderdale after a successful career in Washington, DC, his first thought was helping others. Previously, Chuck worked for the Food and Drug Administration, the Planning Research Corporation and was one of the co-founders of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. For years, Chuck was president of the non-profit, and has helped it to raise over $ 3 mllion dollars for Tuesday’s Angels.
