RALEIGH, N.C. (September 13, 2011) ─ The Sixth Annual Joint Commercial Real Estate Networking Event was held on September 1, 2011. More than 400 guests enjoyed the evening’s festivities, including entertainment and raffle prizes. The fundraising event raised $10,000 to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs serving Wake County (www.wakebgc.org) programs.
“The commercial real estate community in our area is deeply committed to supporting Triangle charities,” says Kerry Saunders, marketing/research director for NAI Carolantic. “We are so thankful to the sponsors, hosts and attendees who made this year’s event so successful.”
The annual Triangle event has grown from the desire of commercial real estate organizations to join together to host a networking fundraiser to support the programs and services of area nonprofits. To date, $60,000 has been donated to local charities, including Hilltop Homes, Wake County Women’s Shelter, Pretty in Pink, Interact and the Inter – Faith Food Shuttle.
