Avison Young held its second annual Global Day of Giving Oct. 15 in all of the company’s markets. Employees will devote their time on this day to volunteering for worthwhile causes in their cities.
In 2014, 60 Avison Young offices took part in this event. This year, because of expansions, an additional 400 professionals from 11 more Avison Young offices will take part in the day of giving.
Each Avison Young office chose its own community volunteer project on Oct. 15. Staffers on that day tackled everything from organizating clothing drives for local refugee homes to sorting food at food banks to completing renovation projects at women’s shelters.
