As team leader, Jessica recruited team members to participate and make donations to help save lives from breast cancer. “Here in the Pittsburgh market, the American Cancer Society, companies such as Colliers International | Pittsburgh, and thousands of cancer survivors and volunteers are thrilled to be holding our very first Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event,” said Jessica. “This will be a start to an annual event for Colliers International | Pittsburgh to raise money for cancer research.
