Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty enjoys supporting Dreams Come True of Jacksonville, an organization that helps brighten the lives of children who are battling life-threatening illnesses. Team members from the Northeast Florida real estate firm recently participated in the charity’s Trunk or Treat event and Virtual 5K race, where team members raised $4,370 for the nonprofit. Members from three of the realty’s branch offices also collected donations for Dreams Come True during its community shredding events.

Berkshire Hathaway team members love a costume party, and for Trunk or Treat, team members dressed up and stylishly decorated seven vehicles, filling the trunks with candy, treats and trinkets. They passed out candy and goodies to hundreds of Dreamers and their families who enjoyed a special Halloween drive-thru, trick-or-treat experience.

Team members from the realty also participated in the Dreams Come True Virtual 5K by raising money and actively participating as runners and walkers.

Meanwhile, company branch offices in Atlantic Beach, Fleming Island and Mandarin hosted successful community shredding events, collecting donations for Dreams Come True while offering the opportunity to shred confidential documents safely and securely.

For the past seven years, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty has donated more than $281,000 to Dreams Come True by contributing a portion of proceeds from every completed home sale. The company and its associates support the organization by volunteering, fundraising, and participating in events.

“Dreams Come True has been and continues to be very close to our hearts, and we are deeply committed to supporting this wonderful organization,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty President and CEO Christy Budnick, who is also a member of the Dreams Come True Board of Directors. “Our company believes in creating a positive impact in others’ lives, and we truly appreciate the support of our passionate team to help make dreams come true for many deserving local children.”
