When it comes to the holidays, most of us spend it with family and friends around a table celebrating the season enjoying a beautiful meal. But unfortunately, there are many families that struggle to have that during the holidays.
At Dynamic Connections, our MAD movement philosophy “Make A Difference” was our key focus for the holidays. We wanted to give back because its not always about how much you get, but more about how much you GIVE. With this, our company decided to give back to our community and to an organization that is always in high demand this time of year.
On Nov 27th, the Dynamic Connections Team partnered up with our local Oakville Fare Share Food Bank to help them with all that they do.
The organizer Lisa Cormier has a huge heart and excepted our group with open arms. After a quick briefing from Lisa and an understanding that over 500 families rely on this food bank every month, we were quickly put to work.
We broke into teams and with attention to detail on the top of our minds, we checked expiration dates, packaged laundry detergent, organized donation bags, sorted a variety or perishable goods, and created an assembly line to create the snack bags for all the kids that are supported by this fabulous organization.
We managed to help complete a hand full of projects that were well appreciated by their team of volunteers. It was a great night giving back to our community.
In business, collaborative relationships are the foundation for winning results together. Sometimes, the best friendships can be derived from business relationships. At Dynamic Connections, we truly value each and every relationship we build with our customers.
We wanted to highlight and share a story about one special customer and friend of ours: Tom Klinedinst.
When we first started began our partnership with Tom, he reviewed our website and connected with us via email: “After watching the episode of you with the gentlemen on Redemption Inc. and taking a look at your website, I wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I’m inspired by what you are doing. I think your message is incredibly powerful and brilliantly simple.”
He was able to relate to the story by sharing about his family and the obstacles they had overcome together.
He wrote, “About 1 year ago we found a terrific residential home for Tyler and he has thrived there. But after he left I started to think about how I could help other caregivers to cope, find strength, laugh, cry, or just be inspired to continue on. Currently I am working on some ideas with a local pastor (who is also involved with special needs folks) in how we can perhaps create luncheons which caregivers can attend in order to share our stories and draw strength from each other. I look forward to leading this someday soon. BUT, for now, I created www.mywalkwithtyler.com which is a simple blog that is intended to be a voice for caregivers, especially special needs parents, to hopefully make a difference in some way. I’m thrilled that the blog just passed 5000 page views and has reached people on 6 continents. I’ve had people reach out to me in very personal ways and let me know it has effected them. That is a beautiful thing.”
We have since kept in touch with Tom, who has recently told us about another young boy with autism.
Zachary, a brilliant, energetic, and caring 13 year old, has lost enthusiasm for his birthday.
The article can be found here, or online at the York Daily Record.
Dynamic Connections and the MAD Movement have put together a gift and card to send Zachary. If you have the opportunity, send him a card as well to the address below! It is small gestures like this that help make a difference in someone’s life.

Dynamic Connections and Tom were able to evolve a business relationship into a caring friendship with a mutual understanding and desire to good for others.
We want to thank Tom for sharing a part of his life with us, connecting us with Zachary, and allowing us to help make a difference together.
Carpe Every Diem! 🙂
As the summer comes to a close and our students are returning to school, Dynamic Connections provides its employees with an end of the summer BBQ. This year was a little different! Chris Giles, president, proposed that we do a team potluck and that the money that would have been supplied originally to host the lunch, would instead go to charity.
As the Green Team is quite competitive, each person was challenged to make an extraordinary dish where we would vote for the top three best dishes. The first, second, and third place winners were given $150, $100, and $50 respectively, to donate to the charity of their choice.

What a night! Dynamic Connections & the MAD Movement invited 15 special guests for their 2nd annual “Night to Remember” evening. Last year, we invited 8 young ladies and their friends to see Taylor Swift live at her 1989 World Tour. 
When selecting who our special guests would be, we supplied tickets to Gilda’s Club in Greater Toronto as well as had the Green team at Dynamic Connections think of people in their lives who have been affected by cancer or have been going through a hard time in their life. The selected guests were called by our team and surprised with two tickets to go to the concert.
