Companies donate to help students succeed
02/23/07 -- Star News North Carolina -
Bill Saffo, Sandra Britt and Tim Kelly, of Hanover Realty Inc., and Craig
Stevens, of Stevens Building Co., will be donating to the Communities In Schools
of Brunswick County through its Lots For Learning fund-raising program.
Lots For Learning enables real estate professionals to make a volunteer donation
for every closing transaction.
In this case, the donations will be made for each lot sold in the Grayson Park
and Cove Landing developments, with proceeds benefiting youth and family needs
through CIS programs in the Leland area.
Britt, a lifelong Brunswick resident, and Stevens are the exclusive agent and
builder of Grayson Park and Cove Landing.
Everette Milligan, CIS community relations director, is recruiting real estate
developers, builders, brokers, mortgage lenders and attorneys to join the Lots
For Learning effort.
"This partnership is an example of how the real estate community can help
support our community's children who need extra help to succeed in school,"
Milligan said.
Proceeds from the Lots For Learning partnership support children and families in
Brunswick County through CIS programs including Adopt-A-School Partnerships,
Volunteer Recruitment and Training, Teen Court, 11 After School programs, three
Family Resource Centers, one Literacy Center and scholarships.
To learn more about how you can participate, call Milligan at 457-2929 or go to
