Combating Diabetes Through Community Involvement

We participated in the 2023 JDRF Real Estate Games to support its mission of raising awareness among Members of Congress of the financial, medical and emotional costs of Type 1 diabetes. The JDRF Real Estate Games, held annually at American University in Washington, DC, bring together real estate companies, CRE industry professionals, and community organizations for a day of friendly competition and fundraising. Our participation in this meaningful initiative not only showcased our commitment to combating diabetes, but also exemplified the profound impact that community involvement can have in driving positive change.
