Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage In Needham Supports The Home For Little Wanderers Through Gift Card Donations

The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Needham is pleased to announce that it is supporting “6 for 60,” a program in partnership with Boston College that will benefit The Home for Little Wanderers (The Home). The Home, the nation’s oldest child welfare agency, serves more than 7,000 of the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable children and families each year.

As part of the program, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares, the charitable foundation of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New England, will donate a $60 gift card for every touchdown the Boston College Eagles score during the 2015 football season to The Home in support of its annual Big Wishes Gift Drive this December. Big Wishes is one of the Boston area’s oldest and largest toy drives, supporting children and families who are living in at-risk circumstances and are served by The Home’s programs across Boston and Eastern Massachusetts. This is the fourth consecutive year that Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage is participating in 6 for 60.

“We are so proud to continue this initiative in support of The Home. The Home provides a network of critical services to children and families throughout the state, and we deeply value the strong partnership we have forged with them over the years,” said Pat Villani, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New England. “We know the gift card donations are greatly appreciated by the older youth and families served by The Home as they will be able to use them to shop for essential items on their holiday wish lists.”

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage will be publicizing “6 for 60” as part of a multi-pronged advertising campaign with Boston College that includes stadium advertising and radio broadcast mentions when the Eagles score a touchdown.

“Helping The Home by donating gift cards and collecting toys and other gifts during the holiday season is something that we look forward to each year. This effort reinforces our commitment to give back to the communities we serve,” said Bill Dermody, sales manager of the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Needham.
