Saiber’s 75 for 75 Challenge
To celebrate Saiber LLC’s 75th anniversary, the Firm and its employees have set out to complete 75 acts of kindness in 2025. Focusing on community service, volunteerism, and other forms of civic service, Saiber and its employees are committed to making a meaningful impact on the communities where we live and serve. From collection drives for the less fortunate to volunteering at food shelters and donating blood, we are proud to support initiatives that address critical needs and foster a spirit of giving. By working together, we hope to honor our legacy while inspiring others to engage in acts of kindness that strengthen our communities.
The below montage features a sample of Saiber's efforts in 2025, on our way to reaching our goal of 75 acts of kindness!
