Coldwell Banker Burnet Collects 7,430 Toys for Needy Children Through Trees for Toys® Program

Coldwell Banker Burnet recently hosted their eleventh annual Trees for Toys^® event. Coldwell Banker Burnet sales associates throughout the region invited their customers to come to their office for the gift of a free Christmas tree or wreath. The suggestion was also made that those customers may bring a toy donation for a needy child. This year 7,430 toys were collected and donated to needy children through Toys for Tots and other agencies.

As a thank you for their donations and business, more than 7,200 of Coldwell Banker Burnet customers received the gift of a free Christmas tree or wreath courtesy of their sales associate.

“The unselfish efforts of hundreds of our sales associates and employees and the generosity of our customers made it possible for many needy children to enjoy a happy holiday,” said Robin Peterson, president of Coldwell Banker Burnet.

Since Coldwell Banker Burnet began this exclusive program in 2002, the company has given away more than 54,000 trees and wreaths and donated more than 100,000 toys to local children’s charities.
