LOS ANGELES - Oct. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- The favorite charity of Susan Stearns, a sales associate in the Calabasas office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, is $10,000 stronger thanks to a grant she has earned on its behalf.

Stearns' volunteer efforts with New Horizons, a nonprofit dedicated to working with adults who have intellectual disabilities, were recognized Sept. 30 by the judges of REALTOR® Magazine’s 2015 Good Neighbor Awards. They named her one of five winners of the $10,000 grants from a field of national competitors.

Stearns has helped raise more than $2.5 million for New Horizons during her 30 years of volunteering, which include serving as board chair and fundraising chair.

The award from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) honors REALTORS® who:

•  Volunteer in their communities

• Improve the quality of life for their neighbors

• Go above and beyond in their commitment to making their neighborhoods better places to live

“We were delighted when Susan was named a finalist, but are even more excited that she is one of the $10,000 grant honorees," said David M. Cabot, president and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. "The grant she earned will go a long way toward helping build pride and confidence among the population New Horizons so lovingly serves."

Stearns will receive a crystal trophy on Nov. 14 during the 2015 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in San Diego. All winners also will receive national media exposure for their community charity, including a feature in the November/December issue of REALTOR® Magazine.

The Good Neighbor Awards have been granted annually since 2000 and are presented by NAR’s REALTOR® Magazine. Those honored donated their time, money, and passion to enrich the lives of the people in their communities. More than $1 million in grants have been awarded to the winners’ charities since the inaugural award.

REALTOR® Magazine’s Good Neighbor Awards is supported by primary sponsor Liberty Mutual Insurance and realtor.com®. Nominees were judged on their personal contribution of time as well as financial and material contributions to benefit their cause. To be eligible, nominees must be NAR members in good standing.
