Corporate Citizenship

CORPORATE
CITIZENSHIP

At OBXtek, our commitment to giving back informs every decision we make. It shifts our focus from bottom-line to big picture.

We believe our values should be reflected in every decision we make, and this has transformed the way we approach both our business and our sponsorship.

OBXtek was founded as a service disabled veteran owned small business and we believe strongly in supporting disabled veterans and the broader service community through targeted giving, scholarship, and employment opportunities.

 

OBXtek is proud to support the following organizations

 

OBXtek is a proud supporter of the Kina’ole Foundation. The Foundation's mission is to educate, advance and promote economic development for the people of Hawaii through educational and business development activities and programs.

The Innocence Project's mission is to free the staggering number of innocent people who remain incarcerated, and to bring reform to the system responsible for their unjust imprisonment.

The Equal Justice Initiative is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.

OBXtek has been a major sponsor of the Na Koa Wounded Warrior Hawaiian Canoe Regatta since its founding in 2009. The Na Koa Regatta honors our fallen and wounded warriors and their families with a competitive environment that builds team work and esprit de corps among all participants.

The ACLU works in the courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to all people in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States.

 

OBXtek is a sponsor of Women in Technology (WIT), an organization whose sole aim is advancing women in technology – from the classroom to the boardroom. WIT meets its vision through a variety of leadership development, technology education, networking and mentoring opportunities for women at all levels of their careers.

 

OBXtek is a proud supporter of the Capital Area Food Bank. The Capital Area Food Bank works to address hunger today and create brighter futures tomorrow for over 600,000 people across the region experiencing food insecurity – a number that has risen dramatically in recent months. As the anchor in the area’s hunger relief infrastructure, the food bank will provide over 45 million meals to people in need this year by supplying food to hundreds of nonprofit organizations, including Martha’s Table, SOME – So Others Might Eat, DC Central Kitchen, Food for Others, Manna, and others.

Since 1970, SOME has been serving the poor and homeless in Washington, D.C. SOME meets the basic needs of the District’s homeless and poor residents with food, clothing, and medical care and empowers them to break the cycle of homelessness through the provision of job training, addiction treatment, counseling and affordable housing.

OBXtek partnered with the United Service Organizations (USO) Pack4Troops Program. During the 2019 Spring PM Summit, employees packed 1,000 care packages for military members and their families who visit the Washington Dulles International Airport USO Lounge.

 

The Semper K9 Assistance Dogs organization trains rescued and donated dogs to provide specific mental and physical needs for wounded veterans and active duty members of the United States Armed Forces. Semper K9 works with over 40 veterans each year with a total of 30 dog teams.

With the help of donations, Semper K9 has purchased 33-acres next to the Marine Corps Base Quantico to design a retreat facility for non-local veterans and families to help with training their service dogs. OBXtek is honored to support an organization that gives back to our disabled service members.

In 2019, OBXtek sponsored the keynote speaker for the Veteran Training Symposium (VETS 19). In 2017, OBXtek offered a new veteran-owned business a scholarship to attend the Veteran Entrepreneur Training Symposium; the scholarship included registration feeds, as well as travel support.

OBXtek is a gold sponsor of the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County's 20th Annual Celebration of Philanthropy Awards, which honors the individuals, businesses, and foundations who demonstrate outstanding generosity and community leadership.

 

The Serve Our Willing Warriors (SOWW) organization provides non-clinical support programs to wounded, ill, or injured service members during their medical recovery. OBXtek is honored to support the growth of such a dedicated organization which values the sacrifice and courage of our warriors and their families.
