Sutton Group – Signature Realty staff and salespeople spent a day assembling a new playground and donated $3,500.

For Ela, a four-year-old girl with a neurological disorder, childhood hasn’t held all the joys that it should.  Recently she got a reason to smile when Sutton Group – Signature Realty in Mississauga, Ont. donated a playground through Million Dollar Smiles. Several people from the office volunteered a day to build it. Ela was in awe at seeing the beautiful, new playground in her backyard and to be cheered on by the crowd.

“The day was an incredible team-building experience that was very fulfilling, emotional and humbling,” says Peter Vukojevic, broker/manager.

Million Dollar Smiles (MDS) is a grassroots non-profit organization started several years ago by Anna Lopes.  MDS provides giant teddy bears, gift cards, digital devices (such as iPads for teens) and highly durable and safe playground equipment.  To provide a playground to a child, a group must volunteer a day to assemble it and a minimum of $2,500 to cover the structure costs.  The Sutton office donated $3,500.
