Annual #TEKSGiving Tech Upgrade
TEKnowledge Worldwide, 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 Sojourner House, as the recipient of its fourth #TEKSGiving technology upgrade.
Sojourner House is a comprehensive victim services agency dedicated to supporting and empowering survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking by providing culturally sensitive support, advocacy, housing, and education as well as working to effect changes in the systems that perpetuate violence.
“TEKSGiving is the heart of who we are and what we do,” said Ray Cline, President of TKW. “We are looking forward to partnering with Sojourner House to help fulfill its mission of helping those in need.”
This coming October, Sojourner House will be receiving a network and technology upgrade that will include access control and improvements throughout its campus.
TEKSGiving is Back!
“I am deeply proud of and humbled by the support of the TKW community. We are excited to use our expertise, skills, and technology to help Sojourner House do what it does best- keep vulnerable people safe.”

WHO IS TEKNOWLEDGE WORLDWIDE?
TEKnowledge Worldwide (TKW) was founded in 2021 by four entrepreneurial business owners from across the country and is a registered Not For Profit Charity and Community-based organization headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. The TKW mission is to bring like-minded technology businesses and individuals together to share knowledge and teach each other by example while making impactful changes in the community through philanthropy.
The founding members of TKW utilize their expertise to promote the core principle of “Community Over Competition,” all while encouraging industry best practices and the use of the most efficient tools and materials. Furthermore, they assist and educate members of the technology community, to help elevate the level of craftsmanship within the entire community and thus the industry as a whole.
TKW has grown exponentially in less than two years and has hundreds of members across North America and abroad. They include Integrators, Contractors, Installers, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors all working together to understand the key principles which lead the community. The guiding principle not only helps all parties succeed but also lends to personal growth and makes for well-rounded individuals.
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!

This year’s #TEKSGiving Award was proudly presented to Sean Wilson & Frankie Salyer, whose contributions exemplify the very spirit of service and collaboration that defines TKW. Selected by project leads from across the #TEKSGiving project, Sean and Frankie distinguished themselves through exceptional technical expertise, their willingness to educate others, and their steady presence whenever and wherever help was needed.
Whether problem-solving in real time, mentoring newer volunteers, or taking initiative behind the scenes, Sean and Frankie each proved to be irreplaceable assets—not only to the success of this year’s #TEKSGiving project, but to the TKW community as a whole. Their commitment, humility, and passion for our mission reminds us why we do this work, and we were honored to recognize them for going above and beyond during
#TEKSGiving. Congrats, gentlemen!
As a thank you, Bad Dog Tools sponsored an awesome tool bag full of gear for Sean, and Frankie walked away with two Black Milwaukee Tool Packouts.
