Dermody Properties President and CEO Douglas Kiersey Jr. and its top leaders picked eight community organizations to receive the 2024 Annual Thanksgiving Capstone Award.

Each year, Dermody's executive leadership team honors groups that help people in need. The logistics, investment and development firm said it created the annual Thanksgiving Capstone Award "with the overall goal of helping address the increased needs of those at risk, especially during the holidays."
