Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Community Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, the largest residential real estate brokerage in Silicon Valley, has raised more than $365,000 through its eighth annual Habitat for Humanity fundraising campaign.
The donation is among the largest the foundation has ever made to Habitat for Humanity. The money was raised through an eight-week community-wide raffle dubbed “100 Years of Homes & Hope,” a theme commemorating Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation’s centennial anniversary that the company is celebrating this year.
“Our Habitat for Humanity fundraising campaign has been a huge success,” said Joe Brown, president and chief operating officer of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Silicon Valley. “Never in our wildest dreams could we have anticipated that we’d reach such phenomenal heights and witness such an amazing outpouring of generosity and support from our Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage team and from the community.”
The “100 Years of Homes & Hope” raffle was held throughout Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s 68 Northern California offices. The funds were raised, in large part, through the purchase of $2 raffle tickets by the company’s sales associates, managers, staff and clients. Prizes included a $5,000 grand prize, $500 gas card, portable DVD player and 38 additional items.
The $365,000 donation brings the foundation’s grand total of funds raised for Habitat for Humanity to more than $1.5 million in eight years.
