Strive will serve as that vehicle for Buzzer to drive positive change and outcomes in our society. 

Our Strive Impact Model is designed to invest in these communities through three strategies:

The reinvestment will support Strive’s mission, partners and causes. As our investment in this area grows, the company grows.

This near-term solution is meant to partner and contribute to impactful organizations that are providing resources and support for our future leaders and customers.
