            Fall Season of  Miracles ~ NW Austin ~ Coldwell Banker United Realtors  ~ Making Miracles Happen

In a tough economy it's hard to raise money for charities and worthy causes, but with a little effort and lots of fun miracles can happen. Wednesday, October 12, 2011, our Coldwell Banker United NW Office held our fund-raising luncheon and silent auction to close the gap on meeting our goal of $6,000 for the American Cancer Society!  We went into the event with $3,702 towards our goal.  Adding the $1,682 from the event our grand total so far for 2011 is $5,384.00! Now we only need $636 to reach our goal...an easy amount to obtain during the 4th quarter!

This was a fun event that supports a good cause!  There is always serious competition over the silent auction items...this year I have to admit I outbid our Broker and chief...Vanessa on a Christmas wreath.

Everyone brings a favorite dish to share and pays $10 which goes 100% to the American Cancer Society!  With plenty of vendors, agents and staff attending it was a successful event in every way!

What a successful event.  It looks as if everyone had fun.  You surround yourself with a wonderful group of woman.  We had a cancer gala at our local spa & resort in August.  It was a huge success.  I feel very, very fortunate that I am a cancer survivor and am thankful to you and everyone who continues to raise money for this awful disease. :) Gail

Hi Gail,

Our CEO has endured cancer 4 different times and many in our office have family or friends who were not as lucky to beat it. This is a cause very near and dear to all of us!
