Coldwell Banker helps raise fund for hurricane relief

Coldwell Banker Preferred invites neighbors to join the effort to raise funds for those impacted by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey by donating to one of two campaigns, the Realogy Disaster Relief Fund (RDRF) and the Realogy Foundation’s Florida Hurricane Fund.

Funds are being collected through the Realogy Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity supporting the philanthropic and volunteer activities of Realogy Holdings Corp. Coldwell Banker Preferred Cares, the charitable arm of the company, is a chapter of the Realogy Charitable Foundation.

The sole purpose of RDRF is to provide direct financial assistance to affected employees and sales agents affiliated with a Realogy franchised or company-owned real estate brokerage office (e.g., as a broker, sales agent or employee), including Coldwell Banker. Donations to RDRF are tax-deductible and will be used to help those affected to address some of their emergency financial needs not covered by insurance. Donate to the Realogy Disaster Relief Fund or visit events.org/rdrf for more information.

The Realogy Foundation’s Florida Hurricane Fund was organized to support all victims affected by Hurricane Irma. The proceeds of this campaign will benefit the American Red Cross. Donate to the Florida Hurricane Fund or visit events.org/flhurricane for more information.

Realogy has additionally announced a company gift to match the first $75,000 donated to either the company’s new Disaster Relief Fund for employees and affiliated agents or to its foundation’s Florida Hurricane Fund.

To date, Coldwell Banker Preferred affiliated agents and employees, along with Realogy colleagues, have contributed approximately $340,000 to the American Red Cross to support impacted areas in Texas.

“We are so grateful to those who have already shown support to the residents of Texas following Hurricane Harvey,” noted David Krieger, president of Coldwell Banker Preferred. “Our hope is that we can extend the same generosity and help the communities in Florida affected by Hurricane Irma. We also want to lend a helping hand to our colleagues who were directly impacted by either of these devastating storms so they can get back on their feet sooner.”
