1,176 Turkeys Donated to Turkey Tuesday

This year’s 5th Annual Turkey Bowl was more than an event for us, it was a celebration of generosity, community, and purpose. We are proud to share that together, with the help of our partners, customers, friends, families, and online supporters, LKMethod donated a record 1,176 Turkeys to St. Vincent de Paul’s Turkey Tuesday program.

That means 1,176 Arizona families will sit down to a warm Thanksgiving meal.
1,176 families who will feel a little more supported this holiday season.
1,176 reminders that community compassion truly matters.

We couldn’t be more grateful. Watch Live 12 News Event Coverage Here!

 

How a Bowling Night Became a Movement

What began years ago as a simple bowling night a holiday get-together filled with laughs, friendly competition, and time with our tech community, has grown into one of LKMethod’s most impactful annual traditions. When we partnered with St. Vincent de Paul and pledged to donate a turkey for every strike bowled, everything changed. What once was just a party became a mission. A meaningful, community-driven movement we now call StrikeOut Hunger. Last year, our bowlers tallied an impressive number of strikes, resulting in 588 turkeys donated (including LKMethod’s match and bonus contributions).

This year, we set an ambitious goal: Double it. Big goal? Absolutely. Worth pursuing? Without a doubt.

A Big Goal, An Even Bigger Community Response

Our bowling scores may not have hit last year’s marks, this year’s tally came in at 72 strikes, but something much more powerful happened:  People showed up with their hearts, not just their bowling skills. Donations poured in at the lanes. Donations poured in online. Support came from across the state from our customers, partners, friends, and families. Our community donated 586 turkeys, and LKMethod proudly matched that amount, plus a little extra, bringing us to:

Community: Not Just a Season, But a Year-Round Mission

While November is one of our largest and most emotional community efforts, at LKMethod, giving back doesn’t begin or end with the holidays.

We are deeply involved in supporting Arizona communities throughout the year, including:

• Local youth programs
• School partnerships
• Racing-community fundraisers
• Ongoing nonprofit collaborations

We may be a small business, but we believe in making a big impact. It’s part of who we are. And it ties directly to the work we do every day: protecting the human-to-digital connection for healthcare systems, financial institutions, educational organizations, and other high-security environments across the country. We operate behind the scenes to secure people’s access to their apps and data and we believe that same level of care should extend to supporting our neighbors in need.

A Call for Partners Who Want to Make an Impact

Our partners, technology leaders, vendors, and community supporters, play an enormous role in making StrikeOut Hunger possible. We are always looking for partners who want to join us in this shared mission. If your organization feels called to give back, to support families, and to help strengthen Arizona communities, we invite you to stand with us in next year’s Turkey Bowl and beyond. Together, we can do even more.

Our Deepest Gratitude

To every bowler, donor, sponsor, partner, family, and friend…
