It’s always a pleasure to give back to our local community and support organizations that are near and dear to our hearts. Tonight, members of our team had the privilege of attending Dinner on the Diamond at the Boston Red Sox’s JetBlue Park in support of the Lee Health Foundation. The evening benefited Golisano Children's Hospital and its important initiative to expand support for children with autism and related developmental disabilities- a mission that means so much to us!
