"Partners in Giving enables Private Client agents to direct donations to one of the charitable organizations we support, with an emphasis on strengthening our communities and improving people's lives."
"Alper Services has a rich history of giving back. We have chosen Lambs Farm as the recipient of our donation because they are a nationally recognized advocate for people with developmental disabilities," Alper Services Senior Vice President Chris Breck said.
