Coldwell Banker Schmitt Charity Benefitting People throughout the Keys:

Dec. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- The Coldwell Banker Schmitt Charitable Foundation is close to hitting the $1 million mark of funds raised to help local people in emergency circumstances. It stages special events all year long such as golf tournaments as well as yard sales and an ongoing bingo game hosted by Boondocks.

Per Jan keller, "When an 8-year-old boy died, and his family couldn’t pay for the funeral expense, locals paid the tab. When a recently widowed woman couldn’t make a car payment, locals did it for her. When a local landscaper was temporarily laid off (http://keysweekly.com/42/tag/off/) and fell behind on his bills, locals stepped up.

“We help people that find themselves in a temporary situation, assist with the rent, utilities, car payments – things to keep them on their feet,” said Jan Keller, a member of the Coldwell Banker Schmitt Charitable Foundation.

The foundation is tantalizingly close to meeting a very big goal — as of the last board meeting it’s less than $22,000 short of its push to raise $1 million in just 10 years; money that it turns around and gives back to community members when they find themselves in dire circumstances.
