Coldwell Banker Realty CARES Foundation Gives Back
to the Community

Coldwell Banker King Thompson and West Shell Foundations combined raised $50,000 for local organizations last year through creative office fundraisers and its annual “A Night in the Wild” fundraiser, held locally at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

“It gives me great pleasure to give back to so many local charitable organizations on behalf of Coldwell Banker King Thompson Foundation,” said Jerry White, Executive Vice President of Coldwell Banker King Thompson. “The agents and office staff are dedicated to making a difference in our communities, and we hope these contributions will help to achieve the goals of these important causes.”

Each year, funds are provided through the Coldwell Banker King Thompson Foundation Community Fund, which gives each Coldwell Banker office the option to choose a charity they wish to support. The following organizations benefitted from the 2012 Community Fund:
