« TITLE TALK / Pioneer Title Agency Affects Change Across Central Arizona Through 2015 Community Giving Efforts

th anniversary in 2015, Pioneer Title set a lofty goal as part of its celebration – to raise at least $30,000 for the Arizona National Scenic Trail (also celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2015) while lacing up their shoes and actually hiking, biking, walking and running the more than 800 miles of the historic trail as a collective team. So did they succeed? The answer is MORE THAN yes! In fact, not only did the team recently complete the trail, but they raised an eye popping $45,000 for the Arizona Trail Association, well above their goal. But that’s not all. In addition to the work that the entire team – including Pioneer’s offices across Gila County in Globe, Payson and Pine – did to make the anniversary “Take a Hike” initiative a success, our local branches also rolled up their sleeves with fundraising projects on their own and by making investments and donations throughout each of their communities. In total, Pioneer Title Agency volunteered several hundred hours and donated more than $220,000 to causes across Arizona!
