As part of this commitment, each of Lyon’s offices contributes $10,000 annually in two $5,000 grants to worthy organizations throughout Greater Sacramento, totaling $145,000 company-wide each year. We are proud to share that more than 97% of Lyon agents and employees contribute to the Lyon Cares Foundation, reflecting our collective dedication to giving back.
