#LaughforOurVeterans was the hashtag used by South Shore Realtors® to promote their November 16th Comedy for a Cause event for Habitat for Humanity Veterans Build. Comics Christine Hurley, Dan Crohn and Graig Murphy delivered outstanding comedic performances to the 200 people who attended to support Veterans and Habitat for Humanity.

The Committee invited representatives of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plymouth and South Shore Habitat for Humanity to the Association’s office in Pembroke to present each organization with a $7,000 check. The committee also plans to participate in the Veterans build with each Habitat chapter in 2018.
