A Windermere Tradition: Windermere for Kids 2016

This event is one of my favorite holiday traditions that many Windermere brokers look forward to every year. I’m so glad I could be part of such an amazing and important experience for these little shoppers as we helped them find gifts for their families. Windermere Eastside wrote a great recap on what Saturday was all about and what it means to our community:

On Saturday, nearly 300 Windermere Real Estate brokers from six Eastside offices came together for Windermere for Kids. For the 16th occasion, Windermere brokers donated $225 gift cards to over 100 kids from the community.

The morning of the event, each of the over 100 children between the ages of 7 and 12 (a “little shopper”) were given a $225 gift card to Target and partnered with a broker who helps the little shopper select gifts for members of their family. Unbeknownst to the little shopper, a gift for them was also purchased. Gifts were then taken into the mall to six large wrapping stations, each powered by 15 to 20 brokers. The gifts were wrapped, tagged and packaged for the little shopper to take back to their family. While they waited for the gifts to be wrapped, there were Santa pictures, crafts, and food and beverages to keep them busy.

Since 1998, this event has been a favorite for brokers who year after year choose to support Windermere for Kids over having a company holiday party. Together, they helped deliver the holiday spirit to 109 deserving children and their families living on the Eastside. Over the 16 years of this event, Windermere Real Estate/East, Inc. has donated almost $250,000 to families involved in Windermere for Kids.
