Selectpath leads the way with giving back to community

June 4, 2008:

As a firm we truly understand our responsibility to serve our community and to give back. Our company and our team are involved in the community through direct volunteering, organizing fund raising events, and direct donations to many local charities.

In 2007, we donated or raised more than $28,000 to local charities, our staff volunteered hundreds of hours and we helped raise the profiles of several smaller charities. More than anything, we are proud of the commitment from the partners through the entire team, at every level of this company. Giving is a culture here.

Here are a few stories of giving, hopefully they'll inspire you, your family and your team.
