Real estate foundation gives out grants to 51 nonprofits

Spirit of giving

Michael Saunders & Co. presented grants to community groups through its MCS Foundation at its Lakewood Ranch office Jan. 17.

Among the 52 nonprofit recipients were Meals on Wheels Plus of Manatee, the Wobbly Feet Foundation and Sarasota Manatee Association of Riding Therapy.

“The MSC Foundation was created knowing we could do more as a company than we could individually,” said Drayton Saunders, the event host and company president, who is pictured above right with SMART Executive Director Brandi Ezell.
