2012 Charitable Donations - Year in Review

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 New Millennium

I am amazed to think that we are at the end of 2012.  Seems like the year flew by.  2012 was a very difficult year for me and my family personally and at times a very challenging year professionally.

Despite all the challenges I am honored to know that I was able to make contributions to several wonderful organizations because of the real estate transactions I was a part of.

Each of the organizations listed below received at least 1 $50 donation in 2012.  However, many of the organizations received several donations throughout the year.

Angie Houtz Memorial Fund – This one is near and dear to my heart.  I am a founding member of this organization that honors my best friend who was killed in the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon by offering scholarships to students attending Maryland public universities.

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer – raising money to find a cure for Breast Cancer.

Food for the Poor – providing needed food and supplies to the poor across the world.

Helping Hands Jamaica Foundation – raising money to build schools in Jamaica.

Jump Rope for Heart – My kids participate every year in fundraising for the American Heart Association.

Komen for the Cure – raising money for breast cancer research and early detection.

March of Dimes – working to eliminate birth defects.

MS Society – I was diagnosed with MS in 2006 and I walk in the MS Walk every year.

Operation Second Chance – helping wounded veterans transition back to society

Ovarian.org – raising money for Ovarian cancer needs

RJ Smiles - An organization started by one of my former clients to honor her son’s memory.  Their aim is to spread smiles across the local area.

Unicef – protecting vulnerable children around the world.

 

I am so glad that in 2010 I began making $150 donation with every closing.  I look forward to 2013 and hope that it brings me many more opportunities to make donations to worthy charities.

Great job! This year was a challenge for me too and yet I still gave to my charities. I read your outside blog about the $150 from every closing. Great program! Best wishes for you for 2013.

Excellent idea. Having suffered from a major natural disaster we have focused our giving to charities we have personally seen come to the front lines of natural disasters. (we lost our home, my office, and our rental property to a flood).
