National Lee Denim Day-Oct 7,2011
We have been proud to participate in the National Lee Denim Day. All the donations go to help fight Breast Cancer and for Breast Cancer Awareness. Several of our employees that donated either had the day off or work in our satellite offices & most of our Realtors were showing properties to clients so, they were unavailable for the photo. Our receptionist did her usual "cupcakes for a cure" to help raise more money for the Fight against Breast Cancer.
