@gives back recently presented a $150,000 check to Chicago Blackhawks star defenseman Duncan Keith in support of Keith Relief, a local organization founded by Keith that is dedicated to alleviating the financial and emotional burdens of those suffering from medical crises.

The presentation ceremony was held at the United Center and aired during the Blackhawks vs. Blue Jackets game on March 31. Attendees included Keith, @properties co-founders Thad Wong and Mike Golden and the @gives back board of directors.

To raise money for Keith Relief, @gives back held a number of fundraisers headlined by the “@gives a hoot” country jam, which featured a VIP reception and hockey shootout with Keith, a silent auction and live entertainment.

“It was an incredible experience presenting this check on the Blackhawks’ home ice. We’re big fans of Duncan and his commitment to making a positive impact on our communities, so it was great to work with his organization on such an important cause,” said Wong. Continue reading

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.
