Daily voting remains open until Oct. 3. Pennsylvania Realtors® Heather Griesser LaPierre, Debbie McCabe and Kathy Opperman, all from the Tri-County Suburban Realtors®, are being recognized on the national stage for their work in the nonprofit sector in Pennsylvania. The public can vote for their favorite of the 10 Good Neighbor finalists, with the top three vote-getters receiving bonus grant money for their nonprofits. Additionally, NAR will ultimately choose five winners who will receive a $10,000 grant for their organization.
