Weekly Walk For A Cause
This spring, our Signature Cares division launched our “Weekly Walks For a Cause” initiative. Each of our offices all got together to support causes that were near and dear to their hearts. Thank you to all that donated, participated and to the charities that helped us make an impact! We hosted 10 walks at some of Long Island’s most beautiful beaches and parks, made great new friends along the way and donated over $40,000 to these causes. SignaturePremier.com
