Giving back to the communities we work and live in is important to all of us at Applied Industrial Technologies and we’re excited to support in years to come!

December Month of Giving

We are elated to announce the results of Canada’s third annual ‘December Month of Giving’ campaign that took place in December. We continued expansion to more AIT Canada locations, with the goal of reaching 17 Food Banks Canada-wide. A kudos and thank you to our associates, customers, suppliers, and the local communities who helped with this cause – with your generosity, we collected 7300 donations which resulted in a match on behalf of AIT Canada of $14,600!

 

We are so proud to be able to help others and give back to the communities we live, work and operate in. A shout out to all of the folks at Applied who helped coordinate this cause for their respective locations!

 

Another example that when we work together, we can all help Achieve Superior Performance in our communities.

Applied® was a proud 2022 Sweet Grass Sponsor of the annual Saskatoon Tribal Council Backpack Giveaway! The 2022 backpack giveaway saw a crowd of 5000 people converge on White Buffalo Youth lodge, as parents and children looked to pick up a free Backpack filled with all the back to school essentials.

 

The organization is looking to double the number of backpacks available next year. We’re so excited to support this initiative in 2023 and beyond!”

Haven Society

It is with great pleasure, that we can officially announce the efforts of all involved in our 17th Annual Applied Golf Classic! This year the Haven Society was selected as the recipient of all charitable donations; Haven Society has been promoting the integrity & safety of women, children, youth, and families within Vancouver Island Community for over 40 years.

Through the donation matching initiative and additional donations from many of our partners, we exceeded all expectations, raising a final grand total of $15,000 for such an amazing cause! A huge shout out to all the golfers who participated, including NTN Canada’s Sales Director, Phil Schmidts for donating his musical talent as the lead guitarist of the band ” Deep Groove and the Rolling Elements “. The band provided a captivating performance that kept the audience engaged on and off their chairs. And a shout out of thanks to Doug Jamieson and the hardworking crew of our Parksville Service Center for their support in executing this successful fundraiser!

A perfect example that when we work together, we can all help Achieve Superior Performance in our communities.
