This week’s blog post isn’t about technology—it’s about the other things we do.

At Tigerhawk Technologies, we know that giving back to our community isn’t just something nice to do—it’s part of who we are. As a local business, we believe that success means more than just providing great IT solutions. It means stepping up and making a positive impact where it matters most.

One of the biggest ways we do that is by investing in the youth right here in our area. They’re the future of our community, and we believe it’s our responsibility to help set them up for success.

That’s why we proudly support Junior Achievement and the YMCA—two incredible organizations that focus on empowering and building up young people. Junior Achievement gives students the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in the real world, from financial literacy to career skills. It’s about helping them see their potential and giving them the confidence to go after their dreams.

The YMCA is another organization we stand behind because they do so much to support and develop youth. Whether it’s through sports programs, after-school activities, or community involvement, the Y helps kids build confidence, learn new skills, and stay active in a safe, supportive environment.

In addition to supporting youth-focused initiatives, we’re also involved in building economic opportunities for our region. Through our involvement with Tri-State Development, we’re working alongside other community leaders to drive regional growth and support new and existing businesses. As a member of the steering committee, we’re proud to help guide efforts that strengthen our local economy and create new opportunities for businesses and families alike.

We believe it’s not just our duty as a business, but our privilege to invest in the next generation and the future of our community. They deserve every opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. We’re committed to doing our part to make that happen because when our community succeeds, we all succeed.
