Vancouver, BC – At the 2024 Vancouver Benefit hosted by International Justice Mission (IJM) Canada, David Sidoo and the Sidoo Family Giving Foundation stood alongside community leaders and change-makers, championing the cause of global justice. The event, held to support IJM’s mission to combat human trafficking and end violence against those in poverty, brought together compassionate hearts from across the region, united by a shared vision of freedom and dignity for all.

For David Sidoo, attending the benefit was not just an act of philanthropy but a call to action. As a former CFL athlete turned business leader and community advocate, Sidoo has always believed in using his platform to create meaningful change. Through the Sidoo Family Giving Foundation, he has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to uplifting those in need—whether supporting youth programs, funding scholarships, or providing resources to local food banks. Now, by aligning with IJM’s efforts, Sidoo extends this mission on a global scale, helping to restore hope and safety to vulnerable communities worldwide.

“Justice is not just a concept—it’s a necessity,” Sidoo shared. “When we come together as a community to support organizations like IJM, we become part of a movement that protects and empowers those who cannot fight for themselves. It is our responsibility to use our blessings to bless others.”

The evening was filled with powerful stories of rescue and restoration, showcasing the real-world impact of IJM’s work. Guests heard firsthand accounts of lives transformed by freedom, reminding everyone present that true change is possible. The event also emphasized the crucial role that local leaders and organizations play in contributing to global solutions.

For the Sidoo Family Giving Foundation, this was more than just an evening of giving—it was a testament to their core values. Their support of IJM aligns seamlessly with their broader mission: to uplift underserved communities, inspire youth, and champion causes that promote equity and opportunity for all.

“Every child, every person, deserves to live a life free from fear and exploitation,” Sidoo said. “Through the Sidoo Family Giving Foundation, we are committed to standing up for justice, whether it’s in our own backyard or across the world.”

As the night concluded, it was clear that the event was not just a fundraiser but a rallying cry. With the support of passionate advocates like David Sidoo and the Sidoo Family Giving Foundation, IJM is one step closer to a world where justice prevails and hope is restored.

Pioneering a Sustainable Lithium Future

As global demand for clean energy grows,  lithium  has become a critical resource powering electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage. To address the challenges of sustainable lithium sourcing,  David Sidoo has launched an innovative Due Diligence Program focused on ethical exploration, responsible extraction, and advanced research. This initiative aims to revolutionize lithium’s supply chain while minimizing environmental impact.

Tackling Lithium Supply Chain Challenges

Traditional lithium mining—such as hard rock mining and brine evaporation—raises environmental concerns due to high water consumption and ecological disruption. Sidoo’s program will assess cutting-edge extraction methods like Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), which isolates lithium from brine sources with minimal waste. It will also explore lithium sourcing from unconventional reserves, such as geothermal brines and seawater, reducing dependence on environmentally intensive mining.

Advancing Battery Technology & Recycling

The program will also focus on next-generation battery technologies, including solid-state batteries, which promise higher energy density and faster charging. Additionally, alternative battery chemistries, such as Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, offer more sustainable options by reducing reliance on scarce materials like cobalt and nickel.

Lithium recycling is another key component of this initiative. With millions of batteries reaching end-of-life, advanced recycling technologies, including hydrometallurgical and direct recycling methods, can recover valuable materials, reducing the need for virgin mining and supporting a circular economy.

Beyond Batteries: Expanding Lithium’s Role

Lithium’s applications extend beyond batteries. The medical field uses lithium compounds for mental health treatments, while the aerospace industry benefits from its lightweight properties. Looking ahead, lithium is being explored for hydrogen storage and nuclear fusion, paving the way for groundbreaking clean energy solutions.

Shaping the Future of Sustainable Energy

David Sidoo’s Due Diligence Program is a major step toward responsible lithium sourcing, driving innovation and sustainability in the energy sector. By prioritizing ethical extraction, battery advancements, and recycling, this initiative sets a new standard for the lithium industry.

As the world transitions to clean energy, Sidoo’s leadership is ensuring lithium remains a sustainable, efficient, and ethical cornerstone of the global energy revolution.
