MADISON, N.J. (October 6, 2021) – Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, a Realogy (NYSE: RLGY) brand, has been selected to receive the 2021 St. Jude New Partner Campaign of the Year Award, for its efforts to help cure childhood cancer. In its first year, the CB Supports St. Jude partnership aimed to raise $250,000, a goal it met within the first six months. By October, the Coldwell Banker network doubled its initial goal, fundraising a total of more than $500,000.
The brand also announced today at the Gen Blue Experience® that it will be continuing the CB Supports St. Jude partnership through 2022, so Coldwell Banker affiliated agents can continue choosing to make a donation for every home sale or purchase they complete to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®: Finding cures. Saving children.®
Coldwell Banker affiliated agents know the meaning of home – as the oldest and most established residential real estate brand in North America, they have been guiding people home for 115 years. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital treats more than 8,600 kids a year from across the United States and around the globe and provides patient families with a home-away-from-home while they receive treatment.
Thanks to funds generated through partnerships like this one, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Also at the Gen Blue Experience, David DiGregorio with Coldwell Banker Realty in Waltham, MA, received the Coldwell Banker Stars of Hope designation, awarded to DiGregorio as the number one donor as well as to 107 of the top 15% of participating U.S. agents in the CB Supports St. Jude program. The donors who achieved this milestone are shining examples of what we can do together in support of the St. Jude mission. Because of these Stars of Hope, the light shines brighter for so many families and children.
