Coldwell Banker Real Estate Strengthens Partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for 2026
Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, a division of Anywhere Real Estate Inc., announced an extension of its partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, aiming to continue making a positive impact in the lives of children battling severe illnesses. Their efforts since the initiation of the partnership in 2020 have resulted in an impressive total of $3.37 million raised to support the hospital's mission.
The commitment to St. Jude is underscored by significant contributions from the Coldwell Banker Network and its affiliated professionals. Notably, this year saw a remarkable single donation of $1 million from Mary Williams, an agent with Coldwell Banker Collins Maury in Collierville, Tennessee. This passionate gesture has established Williams as a standout figure within the network, earning her recognition as the top donor in this year's Stars of Hope program. The Stars of Hope program honors the most dedicated contributors to the CB Supports St. Jude initiative, acknowledging the compassion and generosity displayed by participating agents.
Mary’s contribution not only reflects her personal commitment but also signifies the heart and spirit that drives the entire Coldwell Banker network. "It was a profound honor to be able to donate $1 million to St. Jude in loving memory of my aunt and namesake, Mary Virginia Rogers," shared Williams, expressing deep gratitude for the opportunity to support a cause so close to her heart. Her words highlight the emotional significance of giving back, showcasing how even in challenging times, acts of kindness and generosity can bring hope and healing.
As part of their ongoing efforts, Coldwell Banker affiliated agents will continue to donate a portion of every home sale or purchase to St. Jude. This initiative ensures that families are relieved of significant financial burdens during difficult times, with St. Jude committing to cover treatment costs, travel expenses, housing, and food for those in need. The partnership emphasizes a shared goal of creating a supportive environment for families focusing on the health of their children without the added stress of financial concerns.
Jason Waugh, President of Coldwell Banker Affiliates, shared, "We remain deeply committed to the transformative power of giving back. The commitment to St. Jude reflects our dedication to supporting families during their most difficult times. As we look forward to 2026, we take great pride in the difference we've made together, knowing that every donation helps bring comfort and hope to children facing unimaginable circumstances."
