In celebration of Earth Day, we challenged ourselves to ditch plastic water bottles and replace them with re-usable, BPA-free water bottles. We encouraged our team members to think of other ways to be greener for the environment. GENEWIZ continues to work on ways to help reduce our carbon footprint.
This April, GENEWIZ took part in “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” to help give children a glimpse into the working world. Employees in various departments volunteered to provide children with some insight into the type of work performed GENEWIZ. With discussions and hands-on activities, the children were able to grow their knowledge of the professional world.
On July 12th and 19th, our interns spent the afternoon taking care of various tasks around the House, gardening, cleaning & sanitizing, cooking, and helped the staff make the experience of these families a little more comfortable.

In late October, GENEWIZ teamed up with Embassy Suites for their annual “Trick-or-Suite” event. The hotel closed off two floors to make room for GENEWIZ and other local companies to decorate suites and turn them into magical places for children with disabilities to safely trick-or-treat. GENEWIZ team members created five themed rooms, including Monsters Inc., outer space, and Harry Potter, giving the kids an exciting Halloween experience!
This November, GENEWIZ raised funds and awareness for leukemia & lymphoma patients in the sweetest way possible: a bake sale! Employees contributed a variety of treats to make this event possible, and many more opted to donate money to show their support. All proceeds went towards the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help in their fight against blood cancer.
In December, GENEWIZ teamed up with United Way of Greater Union County for its “Season of Caring” initiative. Our team worked together to grant the holiday wishes of families in need to make their holidays a little brighter with a variety of gifts.
