Share the Magic Colorado Golf Tournament a Hole-in-One!

Thank you to everyone who joined the second annual TD SYNNEX Share the Magic Colorado Golf Tournament – with your participation, it was a hole-in-one! Held on a picture-perfect autumn day at the Colorado National Golf Club in Erie, Colorado, we had a great time while also raising money for two amazing charities – Hope for the Warriors and Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation.

Share the Magic Colorado is pleased to announce that this year – between the golf tournament, silent auction and a Ragnar race event in early June – we’ve raised over $120,000. Once all expenses are paid, Share the Magic Colorado expects to be able to provide the two charities with approximately $45,000 each. 

This year 105 golfers participated in the tournament, but there will be room for more next year! Watch for communications posted here in the coming months so you can reserve your spot. Next year will offer another opportunity to run in the Ragnar Relay, so stay tuned for more information regarding that event as well.

Thank you again to all the vendors for their sponsorships and continued support. We will be coordinating with the other Share the Magic chapters around the country for special “package deals” for multiple event sponsorships, and we’d love to have everyone back next year.

12th Annual TD SYNNEX Share the Magic Celebration raises $2.8 million

TD SYNNEX hosted its annual charity event, Share the Magic, Saturday night with a record-breaking fundraising total of $2.8 million. About 1,200 TD SYNNEX employees, customers, vendors, sponsors, charity representatives, community leaders, students and families attended the show-stopping event at the Grand Lawn at Hartness.

In Greenville, TD SYNNEX Share the Magic raises funds to benefit A Child’s Haven, Clement’s Kindness, Make-A-Wish South Carolina and Pendleton Place. Saturday’s celebration featured the charities and the children they serve, followed by both silent and live auctions and a “fund-a-wish” as a last push before the grand reveal. The party concluded with dancing and entertainment by Simply Irresistible.

“We are beyond thrilled with the outcome of this year’s TD SYNNEX Share the Magic celebration,” said Peter Larocque, TD SYNNEX President, North America and Founder of TD SYNNEX Share the Magic. “Saturday night’s event was the culmination of a year-long effort by our dedicated planning committee, vendors, partners and sponsors, who are so passionate about the charities and what they do for the children and families in our community. We couldn’t be happier and look forward to getting started on Share the Magic 2023.”

Share the Magic’s $2.8 million raised in Greenville is a portion of the $3.65 million raised in North America in 2022 as TD SYNNEX has expanded Share the Magic to six other markets.

“We are incredibly grateful for the funds we receive from TD SYNNEX Share the Magic,” said Tanya Camunas, CEO of A Child’s Haven. “Share the Magic provides our largest annual gift, and year after year we are astounded at the generosity of those who make it happen. These funds allow us to provide childcare-expelled children and their families with behavioral health and therapeutic childcare services for a year at no cost to families, breaking the cycles of poverty, abuse and neglect by treating the whole family. Share the Magic allows A Child’s Haven to deepen our impact and serve even more children in need, and we are truly blessed to be a beneficiary of this amazing initiative.”

Following an “Around the World” theme, the Share the Magic planning team transformed the outdoor space into a small village with cottages offering food and beverages from different countries — a nod to the company’s recent merger, which took TD SYNNEX Share the Magic worldwide.

TD SYNNEX Share the Magic is a fundraising initiative created by TD SYNNEX to support charities that focus on the needs of children, wellness and the digital divide. Since its founding in Greenville in 2011, Share the Magic chapters have been established in Arizona, Canada, California, Colorado, Illinois and Texas. TD SYNNEX Share the Magic has raised more than $20 million across all markets with each hosting its own series of events ranging from galas, celebrations and golf tournaments to silent auctions and fun walks.

J.L. Mann High School raises a record $319,303 during Spirit Week to benefit TD SYNNEX Share the Magic

J.L. Mann High School students raised $319,303 during their Spirit Week to donate to TD SYNNEX Share the Magic. Between Sept. 9-16, student leaders engaged the student body with a series of school-hosted events and competitions, as well as community activities throughout the Upstate. These activities included profit shares with local restaurants, a silent auction and other events, all of which contributed to their fundraising total.

Every year, the J.L. Mann Patriots face off against the Greenville High Red Raiders in this charitable fundraising competition ahead of the rivalry football game. Each school unveiled its fundraising totals at halftime during Friday’s game. Together, the two schools raised $627,382.

“It’s incredible that high school students are able to raise such a tremendous amount of money for charities during one week,” said Peter Larocque, TD SYNNEX President, North America and Founder of TD SYNNEX Share the Magic. “Their hard work and passion for giving back to their community are simply inspiring, and we are honored and thankful to have been selected to be the beneficiary of their efforts.”

Since its founding in Greenville in 2011, Share the Magic chapters have been established in Arizona, Canada, California, Colorado, Illinois and Texas. TD SYNNEX Share the Magic has raised more than $17 million across all markets with each hosting its own series of events ranging from galas, celebrations and golf tournaments to silent auctions and fun walks.

In the Upstate, TD SYNNEX Share the Magic benefits four local charities: A Child’s Haven, Clement’s Kindness, Make-A-Wish® South Carolina and Pendleton Place. The Spirit Week funds will be split equally between each organization. This year, Greenville’s TD SYNNEX Share the Magic 12th Annual Celebration took place on Saturday, Oct. 8 at Hartness.

“On behalf of the student council, we are incredibly excited that we, as high school students, held the privilege of leading such an amazing week for such a precious cause,” said Tatiana James, student body president of J.L. Mann High School. “My top goal this year was inclusivity, and our student council did a super job getting everyone excited and involved. Being able to experience firsthand the work of each TD SYNNEX Share the Magic charity and building a personal connection with them drove us to the finish line, and they were wonderful partners in helping us execute events to their highest potential. Thanks to this teamwork, we were able to make history and break records that we could have never imagined!”

The Fourth Ragnar Trail Relay has crossed the finish line!

In early June, 18 TD SYNNEX employees and families went the extra mile to raise funds for two fantastic organizations, Hope for the Warriors and Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation, by participating in the Ragnar Relay that covers 120 miles per team over a two-day span.

Share the Magic Colorado is thrilled to announce that $4,696 was raised during this event.

“We weren’t really out to win anything or beat any specific times,” said Gavin Critchlow, relay runner and Product Business Manager for Cisco Security at TD SYNNEX. “The event itself was mostly a team-building exercise.” And, of course, an opportunity to raise money for two worthy causes.

The Ragnar Trail Run is a relay that requires each runner to run (or walk) a little more than 16 miles. While there are 20 different geographic locations for Ragnar Runs, this event took place in Snowmass, CO. Snowmass Village was right next to the tent city area where the runners camped, and the runners enjoyed having a fun place to visit between runs for s’mores over campfires, movies, live music, food, drinks and swag.

“The race was a great way to bring together a group of people from our community who share our passion in supporting Share the Magic Colorado’s cause,” said Matt Buszkiewic, TD SYNNEX Vendor Marketing Manager, who was also a runner in this year’s relay. “Everyone went into the event knowing that we were there to spread the word of our charity partners and gather as many donations as we could for HOPE and Children’s. We arrived as 18 individuals and left as one dedicated team.”

Thank you to all who participated — runners and walkers alike — and made the relay a success!
