Lincoln Property Company Spearheads Efforts to Support Autism Awareness and Partners With 16 Property Owners Within its Property Management Portfolio

April 2, 2016, Washington, D.C.— Lincoln Property Company, a leading full service real estate services provider in the U.S., joined thousands of like-minded corporations to help kick-off Autism Speaks Light It Up Blue campaign for Autism Awareness Month.

This year, Lincoln Property Company spearheaded an effort to support Autism Speaks through partnering with 16 property owners within their property management portfolio in the Washington, D.C. area.  Informational signage about autism is being displayed at each property for the month of April and bright blue lights were added to illuminate building exteriors on April 1st to shine a light on the cause.

Autism Speaks celebrated their annual kick-off “switch party” event at 1515 North Courthouse Road, owned by Bentall Kennedy and managed by Lincoln, where Marley Rave, executive director of Autism Speaks welcomed guests and talked about the work being done for their cause.  Also speaking was Thomas Greason, Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates, who assisted in passing the first bill that guarantees medical insurance for children with autism.  Delegate Greason gave heartfelt remarks before the revealing of the blue lights outside the building.

Attendee and executive vice president of Lincoln Property Company, Brandon Ernst, commented, “Lincoln Property Company is proud and honored to participate in such a needed cause and are thrilled with the participation and support of industry leaders and property owners in the DC metro region”.
