Oakville, ON – When one person is generous, it makes a difference; when a whole office of REALTORS® contributes, it is the beginning of something amazing.  This holiday season, eight families in Oakville are the recipients of toys and snowsuits for children as well as gift certificates for transportation, food and household necessities.  Individuals from Sutton Group – Quantum Realty Inc.* donated approximately $900 for these local families selected through the Angel Foundation.  Broker Tina Gardin was impressed by the generosity and spirit of cooperation.

“Our accountant initially approached us with the information about the Angel Foundation,” says Tina.  “We thought it was a great idea so we did a drive and asked for $5 to $10 dollar gift certificates for metro, food basics and Walmart.  We raised almost $900.  The gift certificates went to supplement the contributions of other volunteers who provided snowsuits and toys to the eight families in need.  We collected the gift cards at our annual holiday luncheon on Friday, December 9th at the Mississauga Golf & Country Club.”

“As we enjoyed a beautiful celebration, we remembered those who are less fortunate.  It was rewarding to be able to share the spirit of the season with eight marvellous families from our community and team up with volunteers from Oakwood Public School and Henderson Partners LLP who helped to purchase toys and drop off the gifts.”

“Sutton is a community-based company and we like to support local families whenever we can,” says Tina.

The entire team at Sutton Group – Quantum Realty Inc.* participated in this project.  Their enjoyment of the season is evident to anyone stopping by the office.  Pictured above is their festive front entrance, which was entered the local Clarkson holiday competition.
