Dylan Sidoo’s Efforts To Serve His Vancouver Community

Dylan Sidoo’s Efforts To Serve His Vancouver Community

Dylan Sidoo learned the importance of giving back to the less fortunate at a very young age. As the son of Manjy and successful businessman David Sidoo, he’s been part of Sidoo Family Giving since his younger years. Now, as he becomes a knowledgeable and established person in the business news and world, Sidoo hopes to give back as much as possible to the community that helped raise him.

He’ll always be linked to his family, but Dylan and his brother Jordan Sidoo have started to do more independently. Creating his ways to impact the Vancouver area is a true difference-maker. What are some of the efforts he’s made recently? This article is a look at the charitable acts of Dylan Sidoo.

Staying Involved with Family Charity Endeavors

Growing up in the Sidoo household had a significant impact on how Dylan Sidoo views the world. He saw firsthand the charitable acts made by his father David Sidoo and mother Manjy, and he knew early on that he wanted to make an impact later on in life.

After college, where he has been enrolled at the University of Southern California, Dylan enjoys giving back to charitable organizations related to his interests, following his father’s footsteps. That means staying involved with many athletics, helping out the less fortunate, and providing assistance for business-minded students.

As he has seen, even in the business world, he knows that many people just need a bit of assistance to get to where they want to be. Most of his charitable work focuses on the younger generation, making it rewarding to see when they eventually have their breakthrough. He hopes charitable moves will inspire those same people once they experience success.

Helping Young Student-Athletes

If there are any trends when looking at Sidoo Family Giving, the entire family likes helping out the next generation of student-athletes. As a former student-athlete, Dylan Sidoo knows that many just need an opportunity to succeed. Too often, students get lost through the cracks because they don’t have the right support system behind them.

Kids Play Foundation is one charity that the family has helped with for a few years. It is a non-profit in the greater Vancouver area helping organize sports for younger athletes interested in staying active and competitive. The sports leagues are significant for all types of athletes as they get a chance to show what they’re made of.

Working with the Supra team in New Westminster and the Steve Nash Foundation plays a significant role in what Dylan’s set out to do. Even if his playing days are behind him as a competitive athlete, he wants to see everyone have a chance to benefit from sports. Playing sports isn’t always about being the best player and playing at the highest level. It can build a strong work ethic and teach lessons some might miss with traditional school.

Finally, the most important meal of the day is breakfast. That’s why Dylan has helped play a role in making the Breakfast Club a reality at his former school. It not only helps out student-athletes hoping to stay nourished throughout the day but all students who might not have the opportunity to eat something before they begin their day.

The Breakfast Club has grown from a dream to something found in many schools throughout the country. For each Breakfast Club to succeed, volunteers must be available to help. The entire Sidoo family has played a role, but Dylan and Jordan have that special place in their heart for where they grew up. Having breakfast available to all puts students on a level playing field, meaning they can stay more alert and attentive throughout their school work.

Staying Connected to his Indian Roots

Dylan Sidoo didn’t grow up in India, but the entire Sidoo family is still connected to their Indian roots. One of the biggest focuses as a non-profit organization is to work with the World Vision Project Rise Up Daughters of India. Referred to by many using RUDI, Dylan is pleased to see the changes that have gone on in just a short amount of time with his family’s help.

Assisting change in sanitation options better in India can make an impact that lasts for years. It could change an entire generation as more students can stay enrolled. Many Indo-Canadians have played a part in making this organization a reality.

The charitable acts of Nev Bhatia have inspired many Indo-Canadians. Dylan believes that more partnerships are on the horizon down the road for his family and Bhatia. It’s all about finding the right fit and cause to have success.

What Does The Future Look Like for Dylan Sidoo?

Dylan Sidoo is hoping to do more from a business and charitable perspective. As his workload starts to slow down and he’s not busy building company after company, he’ll have more time to help out with those in need.

Look for Sidoo Family Giving to stay active, but the brothers look to be branching off and doing more charitable acts on their own as well. They want to carry on their legacy and help out the next generation more as time goes on.
