Coldwell Banker Gundaker Receives National Humanitarian Award

Coldwell Banker Gundaker was recently honored with the NRT Humanitarian Outreach Award for its 28 years of dedication to Ronald McDonald House Charities® of St. Louis (RMHCSL). To date, the company’s offices have raised more than $1.8 million for RMHCSL and have volunteered their time for this cause.

This annual award recognizes a single organization within the NRT family of companies that showcases extraordinary service and commitment to its community. NRT is the nation’s largest residential real estate brokerage company and Coldwell Banker Gundaker’s parent company.

“It is thrilling to receive this honor,” said Jim Dohr, president of Coldwell Banker Gundaker. “We are proud to be able to give back to our community and help those in need. Our success could not have been achieved without the support and commitment from everyone at Coldwell Banker Gundaker. It is heartwarming and rewarding when all the hard work and dedication come together to benefit such a worthwhile cause.”

Coldwell Banker Gundaker associates and staff generously donate their time, talents and funds for RMHCSL. Offices tirelessly host trivia nights, garage sales, car washes and raffles with proceeds subsidizing the cost for families to stay at the Ronald McDonald House. In 2013, the company’s most anticipated charity event of the year, the Coldwell Banker Gundaker Celebration, raised more than $128,000, nearly half of which was raised in advance of the event through individual office fundraising activities.

Coldwell Banker Gundaker donations also help with the operation of three Ronald McDonald Houses as well as the Ronald McDonald Family Rooms. The Houses provide a “home away from home” to nearly 2,000 families whose children are receiving medical treatment for a serious illness each year. The Ronald McDonald Family Rooms provide comfort and care to nearly 6,000 families whose children are in the hospital.
