Reflecting on ’21, Ringing in ’22
Vision. Innovation. Growth.
Terms like these get thrown around this time of year like midnight confetti on New Year’s Eve.
As Dstillers, we also like to measure ourselves from another important perspective: Did we do what we set out to do, actively supporting the occasions and organizations we committed to from the start?
As a company, we’re proud to say that we did accomplish what we set out to do, surpassing some of our greatest expectations. And not just for Growth, but for Good.
We’re proud to have supported several life-changing organizations, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, ASPCA, Kids in Crisis, No Kid Hungry, World Central Kitchen, and the ALS Association. During Black History Month, we honored Black Girls Code, 100 Black Men of America, and The Fifteen Percent Pledge.
In honor of Pride month, Dstillery spotlighted the good work of New Alternatives NYC, Transgender Law Center, and Live Out Loud, supporting their missions. Dstillery Walks Together exceeded our mileage goal of 1,969 (Year of the Stonewall Uprising), logging over 2,200 miles of solo and team treks. Dstillery added to employee contributions, benefitting both The Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline.
Our Go-to-Market team took over Motor City, volunteering with the non-profit People for Palmer Park, in a rain-soaked clean-up event to help sustain a portion of the 296-acre historic community.
Our Client Services Leadership Team combed and cleaned over 2.5 miles of NY coastline, earning a matching commitment from Public Benefit Corp., 4Ocean.
Our third-annual Cycle for Survival, benefitted rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering, as Dstillers raised pledges for cycling, running, walking and even doing yoga.
We wrapped our year with Secret Santa, as employees donated to one another’s charitable causes, extending the reach of our spirit of giving.
2022 is bound to bring both opportunities and challenges, as we embark upon a New Year filled with possibilities. But one thing’s for sure. None of our successes, our learning, or our innovation can happen without you, our clients, partners, and industry supporters. For that, we’re grateful, and most importantly, committed, to making 2022 even greater, brighter and bolder, for all in our community.
