Deacon Wealth Management is proud to support a range of charities. The diverse list below reflects each team member's commitment to the charity (or charities) of their choice.
Sponsorships and fundraisers
Chat4Chad: As Presenting Sponsor, Deacon Wealth Management is deeply committed to supporting Chat4Chad, and the incredible work that is being done to provide mental health support in our community. In 3 short years, Chat4Chad has become the largest single day fundraiser in North Bay. Working closely with Founder Wade Ringler, Mark Deacon has co-chaired this initiative since its inception.
One Kids Place (OKP): With firsthand experience accessing the life-changing services at One Kids Place, DWM’s commitment to our local children’s treatment center is long-standing and deeply personal. Steve Deacon has served on the board and is currently Board Chair, and our entire team can often be found supporting OKP events and other initiatives.
Canadore College/The Village: DWM is proud to support post-secondary education in North Bay through our active involvement with Canadore College. From Mark’s work co-Chairing the Village Fundraising Committee, to DWM’s multi-year sponsorship of Canadore’s President’s Dinner, the partnership with Canadore is one we are incredibly excited to continue and grow.
OUTLoud: OUTLoud has become a vital and life changing organization as they work to support our youth – with particular attention to those in the LGBTQ community. The leaders of this safe space also lead many DEI initiatives in our city, and DWM has been proud to support them in their work, and 2026 will mark the 3rd year that DWM has been the title sponsor of the OUTLoud/Battalion’s Annual DEI Game!
Grocery Card Giveaway: What started as a one-time giveaway during Covid, continues with DWM supporting CMHA’s Kindness Week initiative by providing complementary gift cards to customers at No Frills. With rising food costs and tight budgets, every little bit helps, and DWM is humbled to be able to give back in this way.
Laurentian Ski Hill/Bonspiel: Sport and healthy living is so important, and DWM loves supporting initiatives that bring people together in a healthy environment. From providing free lift passes at Laurentian Ski-Hill, to supporting one of the fastest growing bonspiels in the area, DWM is committed to helping those in our community access health living choices.
Clean Green Beautiful: North Bay is a beautiful place to live, and DWM is committed to making our city even more attractive through our support of the awesome work done by Clean Green Beautiful North Bay. And the results are impressive – North Bay is one of the finalists in the Canada wide “Communities in Bloom” competition!
When Steven isn’t busy rebalancing portfolios or developing tax mitigation strategies, he can be found on a horse. Or supporting horse events. Or winning riding awards (on a horse). Or mucking out horse stalls. Horses are Steve’s passion and Deacon Wealth Management is very proud to sponsor several regional equestrian events each year.
