Next Level Performance Highlights a Year of Community Impact and Charitable Engagement in 2025

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Level Performance announced the results of its 2025 community outreach efforts, marking another year of meaningful service aligned with the company's CARES Value of Service to Our Community. The organization's dedication was recently recognized as a "Business of the Year" finalist in the Corporate Citizen category by NJBiz, a testament to its ongoing impact and leadership in the community. Through its annual HOPE Week initiative and ongoing support of nonprofit partners nationwide, the organization continued its longstanding commitment to giving back. 

HOPE Week 2025: A Focus on "Close to Home"
Each year, HOPE Week brings teammates together for a coordinated week of service based at the company's New Brunswick headquarters. In 2025, the theme "Close to Home" emphasized supporting organizations serving local families and children. Efforts benefited include Rutgers Food Pantry, Ronald McDonald House, Children's Specialized Hospital, and New Brunswick Public Schools.

Throughout the week, employees engaged in activities designed to reinforce the organization's service-focused culture with team challenges that unlocked company-sponsored donations and assembled stuffed animals for pediatric patients. Representatives from Children's Specialized Hospital visited the office to share insights on how contributions directly support the children and families they serve. 

Year-Round Support of Community Organizations
