Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate CARES, the charitable arm of the largest residential brokerage in Florida, presented a check for $20,000 to Honor Flight of West Central Florida.

The donation was raised from the 2015 Tampa Bay Cares Walk Fundraiser combined with additional efforts in each of the offices throughout the region for the past six months. Dozens of Coldwell Banker sales associates, managers and staff were on hand to welcome the veterans back to the Tampa Bay area when the Honor Flight returned from Washington.

“Our veterans are the reason we are where we are today and deserve to see the memorials built in their honor,” said Charles Richardson, regional vice president, west central Florida, Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate. “We feel fortunate to have been given the opportunity to personally thank those who fought for our country. It was truly an unforgettable experience for all of us at Coldwell Banker.”
