Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services Charity Benefits, the charitable arm of Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services, is proud to have recently raised more than $34,000 during the 2014 Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services Golf Classic to benefit Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia.                           

Approximately 120 people participated in the annual event which featured 18 holes of golf, a buffet lunch, dinner, auction and awards.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services Charity Benefits, with support from affiliated sales associates and employees, has raised more than $300,000 for Make-a-Wish and has helped to fulfill more than 75 wishes throughout the past eight years.

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