From the top down, it’s something everybody understands. Associate-organized fundraisers collect thousands of dollars each year for various causes. And Sage is extremely proud to match every dollar raised during our annual Giving Campaign, which benefits many local charities. We pride ourselves on doing everything we can to make the difference in the lives of people in our community.
