Baseball, barbecue and business buddies were the recipe for a memorable day that benefited charity. On September 8, Sutton Group – Professional Realty, Keller Williams Select Realty, Royal LePage Atlantic and Remax Nova held a softball tournament in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Through team fees, food sales and direct contributions, the event raised close to $1,000 for charities including the PAWSAbilities Rescue Society.
“This tournament started a year ago when Sutton had the great idea to have some fun with other brokerages all for a good cause,” says Jennifer Morrison, the Managing Associate Broker at Sutton Group – Professional Realty and one of the organizers.
“It is now an annual event with REALTORS® already excited about next year. A highlight is the barbecue—it’s just agents breaking bread together in the spirit of fun and giving. In a world of technology, it’s great to get face-to-face with the agents you deal with on a regular basis.”
Keller Williams Select Realty who won the tournament and graciously divided the prize money among the four teams.”
