The Greater Hartford Association of REALTORS® (GHAR) held a fundraiser on July 19th to raise funds for Mary’s Place, a non-profit in Windsor for grieving children and families. Event participants enjoyed great food and live music from three generous Middletown restaurants: Esca Wine Bar, La Boca Mexican Restaurant, and Mezzo Grill. The evening included prizes donated by sponsors and area businesses.
GHAR would like to thank all who attended, sponsored, and gave to the night’s charity focus. GHAR is proud to present a check for $3830 to Brittany Sheehan, Executive Director of Mary’s Place. Proceeds from the event will provide support for programs that help children and families who are grieving.
“Thanks to the generosity of our members, friends and businesses, we are so proud to support such a worthy cause,” said DJ Dube of RE/MAX Right Choice, and one of the organizers of the event. “We’ve been organizing this event for years and it only gets better, in a large part, because of our dedicated Realtor volunteers.”
