The Greater Hartford Association of REALTORS® (GHAR) held a fundraiser on July 16th to raise funds for Hands on Hartford, a social service nonprofit organization that serves Hartford’s most economically challenged residents in the areas of food, housing, and health. Event participants enjoyed great food and beverages from three generous South Windsor restaurants: Burton's Grill, Ted's Montana Grill, and Golf Lounge 18. The evening included prizes donated by sponsors and area businesses.

GHAR would like to thank all who attended, sponsored, and donated to this worthy cause. GHAR is proud to present a check for $4200 to Hands on Hartford. Proceeds from the event will provide support for programs that support Hartford residents in need.

“We are thrilled to provide this event's proceeds to support such a worthy cause,” said Holly Callanan, GHAR CEO. “None of this would have happened without the generosity of our volunteers, attendees, and businesses. This event has raised tens of thousands of dollars over the past 9 years and it only happens because of our dedicated Realtor volunteers.”
