Partners and Friends

LIONAKIS

The Lionakis Foundation exists to collaborate with organizations to advance research and to empower people to maintain the highest possible quality of life.

The Lionakis family is deeply endeared to the culture of giving and is seen through the attitudes of the staff. An employee of Lionakis said, "I believe there are a lot of people here at Lionakis that genuinely want to give, help, and support our community. The Foundation can focus that energy and by doing so have a much larger impact to see significant progress for deserving organizations locally."

"The Foundation is not about the future but about the past. It is about repaying the debt of how we got here," said President Tim Fry about the concept of the Foundation.

Many of their agents, like Volunteer of the Year award winner Jannay Murphy of CENTURY 21 Select, donate their time and portions of their commissions to support people with disabilities.
