Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties hosted the fourth annual Sunshine Soiree, which sold out the Wychmere Beach Club on June 4.
Guests enjoyed live music from the Mark Greel Band and participated in a live and silent auction benefiting the Sunshine Kids Foundation, which offers free trips, retreats and emotional support to children with cancer and their families. The event raised $144,000 for the nonprofit and propelled the brokerage past $1 million in donations raised for the cause since 2018.
Erika Tarantal of WCVB NewsCenter 5 in Boston led an emotional discussion with a family impacted by Sunshine Kids.
“There’s a moment every year when the room goes quiet, and you remember exactly why we do this,” said George Patsio, managing partner of Commonwealth Realty Group LLC, the parent company of Commonwealth and Robert Paul Properties. “This year, it was hearing Rob and his family. The dollars matter, but what we’re really raising is a little more time for kids to just be kids. That’s the whole point, and it’s the best work we get to do all year.”
