The First Week of School and Giving Back
The first week of September has been an eventful one. Here at The Real Estate Group we enjoyed watching our Facebook feed fill up with all the adorable first day of school pictures. So much creativity and so many adorable kids!
This week we also had the privilege of dropping off all the donations from our School Supply Drive. It was a fun morning with lots of great stories exchanged. We were blown away by the generosity of our agents and clients. We had 25 boxes packed with school supplies for our three beneficiaries.
The morning started at the headquarters of the YMCA of South Hampton Roads. There we spent a few minutes with Jennifer Cass, Vice President of Youth Development. The donation we made will be given to the after school programs that the YMCA holds for children across the region.
From there, we made our way toward the Oceanfront. We met with the amazing ladies of Project Hope at the Virginia Beach City Public Schools Laskin Annex. They shared with us photos and video of all the services and supplies they offer students across Virginia Beach, and we know they will make good use of all that we brought them.
We made our final stop of the morning at Camp Pendleton to visit Principal Coleman at Commonwealth ChalleNGe. Her fine cadets assisted us at the Tides baseball game, and we were excited to give back to them. They are busy preparing for the arrival of another group of young men and women.
We had the pleasure of meeting and talking to an instructor who was very excited about the supplies and who took a moment to chat with us about the amazing transformation that the cadets undergo. We hope that our donation will help a young cadet discover a new talent that will guide them toward a future made brighter through education.
We want to thank all of our beneficiaries from our 2015 School Supply Drive. They work hard to educate the youngest citizens in our community and help to provide them with all the tools they need to be successful. Our biggest thanks go out to our agents and their clients who gave back in a huge way! Thanks for all you do to make Hampton Roads such a fine community!
