Story of Giving by Lynn Briggs

In response to your request for Stories of Giving, I just wanted to let you know that our office, Coldwell Banker Tri-Counties Realty has enjoyed being involved in a couple of very special charitable efforts over the past ten years or so. 1. We are given the names of 20-25 children, of varying ages, from the McKinley's Children's Center, San Dimas, CA. The Agents choose a child and buy gifts for them. We have been doing this every Christmas for over 10 years. 2. We have a 50/50 drawing at each of our office meeting throughout the year and the proceeds are donated to Inland Valley Hope Partners, Pomona, CA. They in turn provide services to throughout the area, such as temporary housing, food and necessities for needy people. We have been donating to the Inland Valley Hope Partners for at least the last 10 years. I am sending you this letter to let you know what we are quietly doing, not to bring attention to our office, as that is not why we give, but because either of the charities that we support would be so excited to receive the $500 that you are offers and put it to good use to benefit the most people. If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call. Thank you for what you do to support the charitable causes in our area.
