In the true spirit of the Holidays, we would like to express to you our sincere thanks and appreciation for your business. We appreciate everything you do for Greater Illinois Title and we are very grateful for your loyalty to the company.

We are very fortunate to live in a country that allows us to celebrate the Holidays in our own way, with our own form of worship and our own unique traditions. Reflect upon the blessings and good fortune that we have and try to help those less fortunate than us.

Remember the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who are not at home during this holiday season but who are proudly defending our freedoms in faraway places. Say a little extra prayer for them, for their safe return, and for their families.

Our wish to each of you is to have a Holiday Season filled with Peace, Love, and Joy; and to wish you a Happy, Healthy and Blessed New Year.

Today is Denim Day, one of the largest single-day fundraisers for breast cancer in the USA. Since its inception in 1996, Lee National Denim Day has raised over $80 million for the fight against breast cancer.

Following the charity’s simple philosophy, “one day, one cause, one cure,” all of GIT employees were encouraged to wear jeans to work in exchange for a contribution to our preferred charity “Dreams for Danielle”.

All proceeds benefited the Sanucci family and helped towards the purchase of various items for the home.
