The Berns Team Raises $105,000 for Local Nonprofits

In an inspiring community-driven initiative, The Berns Team, a prominent real estate group based in Pasadena, has successfully raised and distributed a generous total of $105,000 to seven local nonprofit organizations. This donation was part of their inaugural Raise to Give event, allowing clients to influence the allocation of funds to groups directly impacting homelessness, emergency relief, historic preservation, and community development in the Pasadena area.

A Unique Approach to Giving

What sets this charitable effort apart is the team’s decision to invite past and current clients to vote on how the funds would be distributed. Instead of the team selecting the beneficiaries, they entrusted this responsibility to the individuals whose real estate journeys they have helped navigate. This approach not only deepens the bond between The Berns Team and its clients but also empowers the community by involving them in the decision-making process.

Laura Berns, co-owner of The Berns Team, expressed the essence behind this initiative, stating, “Our mission has always been about more than real estate. Raise to Give allows us to deepen our connection with our community by empowering our clients to help direct real impact where it’s needed most.” This sentiment captures the heart of their enterprise, wherein every transaction contributes to a greater good.

Breakdown of Donations

The funds were allocated to the following organizations that work tirelessly to improve the lives of those in need:

• - Door of Hope: $50,000
• - Eaton Fire Survivors Network: $25,000
• - Friends in Deed: $12,500
• - Eaton Fire Collaborative: $7,500
• - Harambee Ministries: $5,000
• - Habitat for Humanity, San Gabriel Valley: $2,500
• - Pasadena Heritage: $2,500

These contributions signify a pivotal step towards fostering community resilience and support systems.

Celebration of Community and Connection

The announcement of the donation recipients coincided with The Berns Team's annual Fall Festival Client Appreciation gathering, which attracted over 300 clients. The event featured a festive atmosphere with food, games, and heartfelt exchanges, celebrating the collective efforts of the community.

Jason Berns, co-owner, emphasized the significance of client trust: “Real estate is the vehicle, but giving back is the purpose. We’re incredibly grateful to our clients whose trust in us makes moments like this possible. Their votes shaped this entire initiative.” This kind of appreciation not only acknowledges client loyalty but also highlights the importance of collective involvement in effectuating positive change.

A Vision for the Future

The Berns Team is committed to enhancing their community-driven initiatives and plans to expand the Raise to Give program in 2026. Their long-term vision aims to foster ongoing support for local nonprofits year after year, further cementing their role as a key player in promoting community development.
