NORTHPORT FAMILY FUN NIGHT Our Northport office looks forward to Family Fun Nights in Northport Village. Each year locals come together to enjoy great food, live entertainment and shopping. This year, we provided fun crafts for the kids and showcased our awesome listings in our Signature tent. Visitors also participated in our raffle and scooped up giveaways!
PADDLE BOARDING
SIGNATURE SWAB EVENT
Our 2nd quarter contest was a paddle boarding event. The rain and storm didn’t deter us from having a fun time with our Signature family. We paddled in puddles and huddled under a tent – it was a blast!!
This year, Signature Cares took on an amazing new cause. Three of our offices hosted a Swab Event, which gave people the opportunity to be swabbed an added to the national bone marrow registry. The whole event had 407 people swabbed – it only takes 1 to save a life!! Over $3,000 was raised by the participants. A HUGE thank you to all that participated!!
PET-A-PALOOZA Our first annual Pet-A-Palooza was held at Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center in Huntington and it was so much fun! We are proud to be a sponsor for such a wonderful event. With a delicious BBQ, kids games, Chinese Auction, face painting, puppy costume contest- there was something for all of the people and adorable pets to enjoy! Thank you to those that participated, donated and adopted!
