Philanthropy is More Important Than Ever – Here’s What We’ve Been Up To

Cydcor wouldn’t be what it is without a culture of generosity. Here’s a look at some of the incredible things that our team has accomplished (plus initiatives that will keep us busy well into the future).

Our 30th year in business is almost over. This has been a chance to recognize the hard work that’s taken us to where we are today… and remind ourselves why all of this effort is important.

Of the many causes we have supported in Cydcor’s first three decades, Liberty Children’s Home in Belize has been incredibly important to our team and the network around us.

Home to  more than 50 abandoned and once-neglected children, Liberty is restoring and rejuvenating lives, helping kids overcome incredible odds. For years we have been proud to assist their team as much as possible, and have raised over $130,000 to date.

Philanthropy is deeply rooted in Cydcor’s “people helping people” culture, and this was on full display at our National Conferences last August. When we put out a fundraising call during our Awards Ceremony, the Cydcor family answered — Raising $10,000 across our three events.

Our team got creative to make this fundraising a fun and meaningful experience. We sold merch, tickets for opportunity drawings, and even pins with Liberty’s signature butterfly (a representation of hope).

These weren’t just fundraising activities; they were moments of connection, reminding everyone that business success and social responsibility can coexist beautifully.

These funds go towards everything from school supplies to major facility upgrades. They also help Liberty provide essentials, such as medical supplies, food, and clothing. We are proud that every dollar is spent in support of growth and new beginnings for these children. It’s not just about giving them the essentials they need to live happy lives — it’s also about supporting and nurturing the dreams they have for the future.

And as the holiday season approaches, so does our annual drive for clothing, shoes, and toys. Every child deserves a spectacular Christmas morning, and we aim to show up big for Liberty every year.

While Liberty Children’s Home holds a special place in Cydcor’s heart, our commitment to giving doesn’t stop there. As the holiday season approaches, our team will soon transform into a force for local good in Ventura County. For many years now, the annual Spark of Love initiative sees us collaborating with local businesses to help ensure no child goes without during the festive season.

This isn’t your typical corporate toy drive. Picture Cydcor employees donning elf costumes and holiday garb, packing toys, sports equipment, and non-perishable food items — all destined for thousands of local children and teens. It’s a reminder that true corporate responsibility starts at home… and that we don’t have to look far to find people who need our support.

From our local community to worldwide philanthropy, giving back sits at the heart of Cydcor’s DNA. Our “people helping people” culture isn’t just a slogan — it’s evident in every fundraising event, every volunteer hour, and every initiative they undertake.

And looking back at our last three decades of impact, the message is clear:

Corporate success and social responsibility aren’t mutually exclusive — they’re mutually reinforcing. And if you’re someone looking to take the next step in your career, or you’re a business leader looking to keep growing your team, this is where the true impact and legacy lies.

You don’t need to raise thousands or transform an entire organization overnight. Start where you are. Join local initiatives like Spark of Love. Organize workplace fundraisers. Support causes that speak to your heart.

Remember, every butterfly pin sold, every toy packed, and every dollar raised creates ripples of change that extend far and wide. In a world that often seems divided, these acts of generosity are more important than ever.

The question isn’t whether you can make a difference – it’s how will you choose to do so,

As Cydcor has shown us for thirty years, the greatest business success stories aren’t just written in profit margins, but also in lives transformed.
