Howard Hanna Chow Chow Event: A Committment To Children

Howard Hanna Real Estate Services annual "Choo Choo Chow Chow" fundraising campaign is now in its 23rd year! Last year was a record-breaking year thanks to the efforts of our sales associates, managers, department heads, and staff as they raised the most money the company ever has in its history: $617,221 for Children's Free Care! The money raised in each region stays in the area to help assure needy children will not be denied the best medical care available - whether it is to help those without healthcare pay for medical treatment or for cutting-edge care that insurance may not cover.

All Howard Hanna offices band together and plan their Chow Chow event to raise money for the Children's Free Care Fund in their area. Each office works tirelessly on their own "Choo Choo Chow Chow for Children" luncheon or event.

The Lakewood Office of Howard Hanna will host a Chow Chow Event, where our guests will be treated to tasty food, entertainment, great auctions, a fun-filled evening and the company of great neighbors and business associates, all in an effort to raise money for a worthy cause.

Our campaigns have raised nearly $6 million since the inception of the Children's Free Care Fund in 1989. This year we hope to raise even more than ever before, but we cannot succeed without your help!

Please do us the great honor of supporting this wonderful cause by becoming a sponsor or donating items towards our Silent and Chinese auctions. Please call me at 216-262-4045 or email me at richardborelli@howardhanna.com and I will be happy to coordinate the pick-up of auction items at your convenience. If you are interested in becoming an event sponsor, please call or email directly.

The 2011 Lakewood Event/Dinner will be held on Thursday, December 1 from 5:00 p.m. through the evening at the Carlyle Condominiums Party Room, 12900 Lake Ave., in Lakewood.

The public is invited to attend!

Additionally, each year Howard Hanna sponsors a new car raffle to benefit Children's Free Care Fund and this year's car is a candy apple red 2012 Ford Mustang! Car raffle tickets are available at the Howard Hanna Lakewood Office or directly through me. The drawing will be held on December 16 at the Howard Hanna Corporate Office.

Eight different children's facilities benefit from the Howard Hanna's company-wide fundraising efforts including Cleveland Clinic's Children's Hospital, MetroHealth and University Hospital Rainbow Babies in Cleveland, Akron Children's Hospital and Akron's Children's Hospital at St. Elizabeth's.

Your support means a great deal to us and means much, much more to the children it benefits!
