By Karina Mermis, Sales Representative with EXIT Realty Edge in Patchogue, NY
I am thrilled to report that our third annual EXIT Realty Edge event, “Fundraiser For Autism,” was a tremendous success! Held at the Royal Palm in Farmingdale, New York, the event saw over 70 attendees. Thanks to ticket sales, donations, and raffle tickets, we raised more than $6,000 for Nassau Suffolk Autism Society of America (NSASA).
We were honored to have a Platinum, Gold, and Silver Sponsor, along with three Grand Pride contributors. The event featured a panel of educators and live music, adding to the enjoyable and informative atmosphere. Our promotional efforts paid off, as we had an excellent turnout and received positive feedback from all attendees. I was able to discuss my son’s journey along with introducing him to everyone at the event which left a powerful impression. He is my “why”.
We look forward to making next year’s event even more successful and continuing to work together to support this important cause.
A portion of every transaction fee received by EXIT Realty Corp. International is applied to its charitable fund. Through the Spirit of EXIT Charitable Program, EXIT offices and associates can raise money for local, approved, registered charities and apply to EXIT’s head office to have those funds matched from the company’s pool of funds. Karina and her team hoped to raise $5,000, which EXIT’s head office was proud to match, however they exceeded that goal and raised $6,100 for a total donation of $11,100 to NSASA.
“At the Autism Society of America, we create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully. It is our vision to create a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it. We are thankful for your support. Together, we can make a difference,” said Michele Iallonardi, Interim Executive Director, NSASA.
