Community support often happens quietly, but its impact is felt far and wide. This week, local REALTOR® Stephan Curcio once again demonstrated his ongoing commitment to giving back with a $750 donation to the Palm Coast Lions Club, reinforcing his belief that strong communities are built through consistent, meaningful action.

The moment reflected not just generosity, but a shared dedication to service, connection, and local impact.

“This donation is a reminder of how strong our community truly is,” said Shara Brodsky, President of the Palm Coast Lions Club. “When local leaders step up and support service organizations like The Lions Club, it makes a real difference for the people we serve every day.”
