Axcelerators in Action: Making a Difference in Fort Walton Beach

July 16, 2024

At Axient, we believe that placing focus on the people and communities both within our company and where our employees live, work, and play is the foundation of our corporate culture. We recognize that our people and our communities are the keys to our success, both in and outside of the workplace. Our steadfast commitment to being active participants and stewards of the communities, causes, and passions of our people is central to who we are.
In line with this commitment, our dedicated team of Axcelerators in Action recently rallied at Children in Crisis in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. This remarkable non-profit organization is devoted to providing homes that not only shelter dreams but also nurture them. Their mission is to foster a community where the echoes of resilience drown out the whispers of past struggles, while keeping brothers and sisters together.
Since its inception in 2008, CIC has provided a safe and nurturing environment to over 1000 children. The CIC neighborhood consists of an Emergency Shelter, five family foster homes, and the Opportunity Home, which includes eight studio apartments for young adults who have aged out of foster care. Additionally, CIC offers wrap-around services through Kay’s Cupboard, King Whitmire Therapy Center, Kids Clubhouse, and the Administrative Offices.

During the recent Axcelerators in Action event, our team engaged in various activities to support the CIC community. From picking up trash to providing landscaping services, our volunteers worked tirelessly to cut grass, trim bushes, and pull weeds.
We are proud of the impact our employees have made and continue to make in the communities where they live and work. By supporting organizations like Children in Crisis, we reinforce our commitment to nurturing and empowering the next generation.
Axcelerators in Action is more than just a volunteer program; it’s a testament to our belief in the power of community and the importance of giving back. We look forward to continuing our support for Children in Crisis and other similar initiatives, fostering stronger, more resilient communities.
