May, 2009 – West Babylon, NY -
Spirits, as well as auction cards, were high at the Long Island Board
of REALTORS® Suffolk South Shore Chapter’s Annual Charity Fundraiser
and Live Auction “Project Hope,” held on May 20th at Lily
Flanagan's in Babylon Village. Realtors® are well-known for
their tremendous charity work throughout the Long Island community; in
this case Autism United will be the benefactor of the approximately $10,000
that was raised from this event. This event brought Realtors® and
friends together, to support individuals and families living with Autism. In
recent years the Suffolk South Shore Chapter’s “Project Hope” events
have supported organizations such as, Hospice Children's Bereavement
Services, Sloan Kettering Hospital and local military battalions deployed
overseas, just to name a few.
The Chapter was proud to support Autism United, which is an alliance
of families and individuals affected by autism spectrum disorders working
with professionals and organizations who serve the autism community. Their
effort begins with families working together to build community support,
services and resources. Autism United will forge their collective strength
to improve the welfare of individuals and families affected by ASD.
The evening would not have been possible with out the hard work and dedication
of the Suffolk South Shore Chapter Officers and Directors, over forty fabulous
raffle and Chinese Auction prizes were collected, including a 46” LCD
Sony Bravia, a Nintendo Wii, a children’s bike, a weekend house in
the Hamptons (courtesy of LIBOR Treasurer, Liz English), numerous, generous
donations made by community retailers, restaurants and so much more! Pictured
