Community Involvement
ConXts Technology Solutions has used much of its time and resources
to try and give back to the community. Being a small local business
that has become successful over the years in northeastern Oklahoma,
we feel a sense of gratitude and humbleness toward the community.
It is important to us to give back as much as possible to the
schools and local businesses, as without them, we would not have
survived the tumultuous start of our business.
Memberships
ConXts Technology Solutions is a member of the Chamber of Commerce
and has many employees that are members of the Tulsa Young Professionals.
We look forward to more involvement in the years to come with
both organizations. Although we enjoy our involvement with the
local organizations, it is our work with public school systems
that we take most pride in.
School Involvement
Although most companies try and take a different approach to
their marketing and advertising, ConXts participates in mostly
school oriented activities as we have a heart for the youth of
Oklahoma. We thought about it and decided for the same amount
that we could put into advertising; we could simply give back
to the students in local schools through donations and fundraisers.
Our year primarily revolves around school functions and sports
seasons as we enjoy helping out where we are needed.
At the beginning of the school year, we offer a program called
the ConXts Extreme Classroom Makeover, in which schools send in
an application and a letter to us for consideration. After sending
in a unique Gilligan’s Island themed application video on
how technology can improve their library, Checotah Public Schools
is the latest winner. Checotah was one of two applicants chosen
to receive a $15,000 technology makeover grant in their school
library. This makeover includes Smart Board Technologies and the
new ConXts 7 in 1 computer. The makeover was installed in April
2007.
As in years past, ConXts took an active role in the high school
football season in 2006. We have donated laptops to area schools
to be raffled off for school fundraisers related to new band uniforms
and other school needs. We also make it out to the games cheer
our teams on and throw mini footballs out to the crowd. We very
much enjoy a high level of involvement with area schools.
As we take our involvement in school sports very seriously, our
sponsorship goes beyond football season. Some of our other involvements
include donations for sports related uniforms as well as sports
equipment. Just this past season, an area high school softball
team had their equipment stolen. ConXts donated all new equipment
to the team to continue with their training. We are also proud
sponsors of the Welch Little League team baseball team.
When prom and graduation season role around, we make sure and
help where we can there as well. This year, we have donated several
MP3 players and computers to be given out to senior students in
various schools for good grades, special promotions and of course
prom.
The more involvement in schools we have, the more excited we
get. Our sales staff takes part in many golf tournaments to benefit
scholarships for local students. We also donate to many other
fundraising events such as auctions, raffles, and so much more.
Scholarships for College
The latest edition to the ConXts community involvement is the
ConXts Scholarship Drive. This May we be giving away scholarships
to four senior students to attend the college or trade school
of their choice. Each student will be chosen on the basis of their
grades, community and school involvement, as well as an essay
they have written about how technology has helped them in life
and school. The scholarships will be awarded to four students
in Oklahoma by May 18, 2007.
ConXts takes great pride in working with the community all around
us. It is both an honor and a privilege to serve the Oklahoma
area and look forward to many years of community service in the
future.
