That's why you'll see Shannon around town participating in a wide variety of philanthropic activities and events.

She's had the luxury of meeting fabulous people and in some cases introducing them to fabulous properties as she's shown here with a former client of hers.

The Young Professionals of Naples Golf Tournament to Benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Florida: Shannon Lefevre and Amy Schneider doubled as beverage cart girls in efforts to keep charity golf participants cool during the Young Professionals of Naples Golf Tournament on September, 30th. A far cry from their real professions (real estate and law) but for a worthy cause nevertheless. It was a fun day, we raised alot of money and nobody went home dehydrated.
