Why Lamar?

Giving Back

At Lamar Smith Signature Group, we believe we have a responsibility to help and support the communities where we live and work.

Personally, I believe our own environment can limit our perspective but that community service expands it. What all of us can do is reach out through our community service to simply let other people know that we're here, and we care. Community service not only brings out the best in us, it inspires hope in each other and empowers us to believe in a better future.

Giving to YMCA Our Lamar Smith Signature family participates in a wide variety of community organizations and community events. We routinely call on each other to support the organizations and causes that we are involved in. Below is a list of some of the ways each of us gives back:
