TEKSGiving 2024
Annual #TEKSGiving Tech Upgrade
TeKnowledge World Wide, a collective of like-minded individuals in the technology industry who share knowledge and seek to make positive and impactful changes in the community, has chosen the La Escuelita BiLingual Preschool, as the recipient of its fourth #TeksGiving technology upgrade.
This year’s recipient, La Escuelita, is based in Davidson, NC. The technology upgrades that will be donated include an update of the facilities security system to keep the patrons safe and an upgrade of its WiFi & Network infrastructure so that they can connect with the community and the world on a larger scale. Additionally, they’ll be receiving additional Technology equipment, such as Audio Visual systems to keep its youth motivated.
The rising cost of technology to protect communities like La Escuelita is out of reach for so many,” said Ray Cline, President of TeKnowledge World Wide. “To alleviate that burden, we have a growing network of World Wide IT professionals who donate both state-of-art products and their time to make these projects possible. We are proud to work with La Escuelita to upgrade their technology so that they can use it for the benefit of the people they support.
TEKSGiving is Back!
“After joining TKW I’ve become more aware of the importance of community involvement and language skills. Meeting with the chairman and director of La Escuelita helped shed light on their hard work in supporting the Spanish-speaking community. As a father now, these efforts resonate with me on a deeper level. In our industry I encounter a diverse range of people and families. Through these interactions, I've witnessed firsthand how being proficient in English and integrated into the community can bring significant benefits, especially when one starts learning at a young age."

#GivingTuesday is coming! It`s the biggest day of giving across the globe! Here at TKW, we`ve built a fee-free, volunteer-powered community that’s truly about lifting one another - and an industry - up.
From #TEKSGiving to tool tips and job leads to real friendships, TKW is more than a tech space—it’s a movement. But even magic takes maintenance!
Your support helps cover the tools that keep us running—Zoom, Microsoft, Constant Contact—and the boring-but-important stuff like IRS compliance.
Our members live what they believe: #CommunityOverCompetition.
I’m donating today—and I hope you’ll join me. Let’s keep this incredible mission alive and thriving.

"We`re giving a lot to these organizations, but we also get a lot out of the experience... I`ll tell you, its one of the most fulfilling things in the tech space that I`ve been able to do"
We sit down w/ Marlon Henry of Better Days Technology and chat about how he feels the project at Sojourner House is going, and what it has meant to him to be a part of the project since the beginning, and what it means for the future.

Alex, Volunteer and Development Manager for Sojourner House talks with us about her role in the organization and where she sees the impact of #TEKSGiving will help their community and clients heal for years to come.
It was an absolute pleasure to talk w/ Alex and hear more about the mission and impact Sojourner House has - it`s clear that the staff and volunteers have a deep passion for helping others in need.

This one goes out to Vertical Cable - but most especially Mike Kholmanskykh.
Fun fact. Mike has been to EVERY TKW event since we started. From our humble beginnings to our most recent #TEKSGiving, @verticalcable has supplied us with everything we need to give back to our recipients. In total, VC has donated well over 100,000` of cabling on top of thousands of jacks, biscuits, patch panels, j hooks, velcro, fiber supplies - you name it, they`ve had our back.
We can`t do what we do without the support and partnership we have with Vertical Cable - their team believes and embodies our ideals and shows up every single time.
Mahsa Sattarzadeh Adam Moore Hugo Arroyo - Thank you to all of the Vertical Cable team for supporting us - your team is our team, and you mean the world to us!

The #AUTHENTEK TREND Networks team was onsite for #TEKSGiving again for their FOURTH time!
Cathy Cohen, Jeffrey Conklin Mike Grindele were there to not only help certify our work - but learn about how a cable is pulled, terminated, dressed and certified (they had an amazing teacher Tommy Jordan giving them all the tricks of the trade!)
TREND Networks has been to every #TEKSGiving since its inception - and we know they`ll continue to be a supporter for many years to come.
Thank you team for being there every single year with us. We can`t wait until our next event!
Paul Walsh, Abbi Norman, Chris Sullivan & Dan Barrera - you`ve got an amazing team and we truly appreciate all you do - we hope you`ll join us again for another adventure soon!
