BESTECH is proud to celebrate its fourth annual 16 (Work) Days of Giving campaign, an employee-driven initiative designed to support and spotlight charitable organizations making a meaningful difference across Northern Ontario and beyond. 

Each year, BESTECH employees participate in internal fundraising activities, including raffles, BBQs, and other community-building events, and BESTECH matches every dollar raised. In 2025, these collective efforts generated nearly $20,000, directed to organizations nominated by employees for their community impact in areas such as food security, youth support, health and wellness, cultural enrichment, environmental stewardship, and advocacy. 

This campaign has become a cherished BESTECH tradition rooted in two commitments: 

• Listening to our employees and supporting the causes that resonate most deeply with them, and 
• Using our platform to “pay forward” the work of these organizations, encouraging others across the region to learn about, celebrate, and support their efforts. 

A Message From BESTECH’s President 

Our employees are at the heart of this initiative,” said Marz Kord, President of BESTECH. “The organizations chosen each year reflect the causes that matter to them, the places where they see real community need and meaningful impact. Supporting these groups is an extension of who we are as a company, and we’re proud to help shine a light on their work.

Throughout December, BESTECH is spotlighting each organization on its social media channels to share their stories and broaden awareness of the work they do.
