Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services Charity Benefits Raises $14,000 for Make-A-Wish

Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services Charity Benefits, the charitable arm of Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services, is pleased to have recently raised approximately $14,000 for Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The funds were raised at the 11th annual Shopping Extravaganza organized by the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services Peters Township office.

More than 500 people attended the popular event that featured specialty items available for purchase from 28 local vendors. These items included leather goods, glassware, and fashion jewelry and accessories. Guests also had the opportunity to bid on auction items and enjoyed snacks as they shopped.

Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The organization’s mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.

“It is through the generous efforts of volunteers, sponsors and donors, combined with support from the local community, that we are able to continue our relationship with Make-A-Wish, a most worthy cause. This support was critical in making this year’s event a huge success,” said Mark Pelusi, manager of Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services Peters Township office.

Key sponsors for the Shopping Extravaganza included: American General Services Corp.; AXA Advisors; and Stuart Valen; as well as Alexander Bunson and Associates; Cain, Ackerman & McCormick, P.C.; P.J. Dick Inc.; Twin Capital Management Inc.; and other generous donors.
