FirstService Residential launched a company-wide initiative that included offices across all regions and remote team members to make strides for The Trevor Project, and to raise awareness of the groups mission: To end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning young people.
“It was a privilege to celebrate Pride Month with other FirstService Residential leaders by participating in The Trevor Project’s Walk-A-Thon. Diversity makes us stronger, and it was a beautiful day to celebrate our 2SLGBTQIA+ associates and the residents we are honored to serve,” said CEO David Diestel.
The Trevor Project provides crisis services, research, education and public awareness programs and advocacy to help make ours a kinder world. There are many ways you can get involved. Visit thetrevorproject.org to learn more.
