On December 13th, the Keystroke team came together for our annual Christmas Party, a tradition that not only marks the close of another year but also gives us the chance to celebrate the people who make our success possible. The evening was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and plenty of good food. Highlights included our ever-popular Ugly Sweater Contest, which brought out both creativity and questionable fashion choices, and the presentation of the KOPA Awards (Keystroke Orange Peel Awards)—a cornerstone of our year-end festivities.
The KOPA Awards are presented annually to recognize seven team members who have distinguished themselves through exceptional contributions in their respective departments. These awards symbolize excellence, dedication, and the spirit of teamwork that drives Keystroke forward. Winners are chosen primarily through a secret ballot by their peers, making the recognition especially meaningful as it reflects the respect and appreciation of colleagues.
Each recipient of the 2025 KOPA Award received $400 as a token of appreciation for their outstanding efforts.

In Summary
The Christmas Party and KOPA Awards serve as a reminder that while products, projects, and milestones define our business, it is the people behind them who truly make Keystroke what it is. As we look ahead to 2026, we do so with gratitude for the dedication of our team and excitement for the opportunities that lie ahead.
Thank you all!
