Supporting Our Communities
Charities of 2025
As we advance into 2025, our commitment to giving back to our community remains unwavering. This year, we are proud to continue our support for the Children's Home Society of North Carolina and introduce our new partnership with Samaritan's Purse, focusing on aid for those impacted by last year's devastating hurricane in Western NC.
Samaritan's Purse: Rebuilding Lives in Western NC
New to our charitable endeavors this year is Samaritan's Purse. This esteemed organization is renowned for its disaster relief efforts, and we are honored to partner with them. Our focus with Samaritan's Purse will be on assisting those affected by last year's hurricane in Western NC. The storm caused widespread devastation, displacing families and wreaking havoc across numerous communities. There is still so much work to be done to rebuild homes and lives. Together with Samaritan's Purse, we aim to provide essential support and resources to help these communities recover and thrive once again.
GET INVOLVED!
Your generous donations and support make all of this possible. Be on the lookout for emails and information at our events on how you can participate and give to these worthy causes. Thank you for being a part of our mission to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Our Charity Focus
CHILDREN’S HOME SOCIETY OF NC
In 2023, Semmax Financial Group raised $17,430 for Children’s Home Society of NC (CHSNC), which will contribute to the sponsorship of the adoption of a child. Semmax has a special connection with CHSNC – Semmax Advisor Jonathan Short and his wife Anna adopted their twins, Colin and Madeline, through the organization.
CHSNC’s mission is “to promote the right of every child to a permanent, safe and loving family.” We look forward to partnering with them again in 2025 and hope you will consider donating toward our goal of $12,000. We will accept donations for CHSNC throughout the year at various events and workshops. If you would like to donate at any time, you can make a check payable to “Children’s Home Society of NC” and send it to our office at 1447 Trade Mart Blvd., Winston-Salem, NC 27127, and we will ensure CHSNC receives it.
