Realmark offices have joined forces in the lead up to Christmas to create a community event raising awareness of their corporate community program True Blue and Starting Over Support (SOS).
SOS – a not-for-profit organisation that helps families moving on from crisis to build a new life – was selected as the groups’ community program for 2019.
Their aim is to create partnerships with the general public, businesses and other organisations to source good quality household items and furniture.
Realmark Co-Founder and True Blue establisher, Anita Percudani, said when she and John Percudani first founded Realmark more than 30 years ago, they made a commitment to give back to the community.
“This year, one of our team members alerted us to the wonderful work that SOS does in helping families in crisis start over,” Ms Percudani said.
“Being in real estate, it also felt like it was the perfect fit – we have so many clients who are moving home interstate or downsizing with a lot of items they are looking to rehome.
“This gave us the perfect opportunity to help source much-needed items and raise awareness for SOS.”
Ms Percudani said Realmark launched a Christmas Toy Drive with the SOS team across WA, with offices holding collection points for toys to be dropped off for SOS families.
The drive has been so popular, they have extended the initiative until Friday 13 December 2019.
“In addition to this, some of the teams got together to take it a step further, which is where the Community morning Tots, Toys and Tails came from,” Ms Percudani said.
On Sunday, 8 December 2019, Perry Lakes Floreat will be transformed into a community event where Realmark encourages everyone to bring their children and dogs, as well as gifts to donate to SOS.
It will be a fun-filled morning for all the family with a sausage sizzle, children activities lead by the Sports Kids team, colouring competition, meet and greet with Santa, and stands from local suppliers who have dedicated their time and donated to the cause.
