@gives a Hoot About Giving Back

To @properties, being local means connecting with our community on a level that goes well beyond the real estate transaction.

One way we do this is through @gives back, our non-profit foundation that raises money for local charities.

Earlier this month, @gives back hosted its “@gives a hoot” fundraiser featuring Chicago Blackhawks star defenseman Duncan Keith. More than 250 guests gathered at the West Loop’s Morgan Manufacturing for a VIP reception and hockey shootout with Keith, country-themed games, a silent auction and live entertainment from country music artists (Check out the video above to see the highlights!)

The event was a huge success, raising over $100,000 for our 2016 beneficiary Keith Relief – an organization founded by Keith that is dedicated to alleviating the financial and emotional burdens of families and individuals suffering from medical crises.  We’re excited to help such a deserving organization and look to keep the momentum going through the end of the year.
