Huntington, NY USA- The Young Professionals Network (YPN) of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, one of the nation’s leading realtors and the top ranked luxury real estate organization serving Long Island, Brooklyn, and Queens, recently held its Second Annual Give for Good fundraising event. Held at The Inn at New Hyde Park, the gala event, which included dinner, dancing, raffles and vendor tables, raised more than $50,000 for the Daniel Gale Foundation, a charitable organization wholly funded by donations from Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty real estate advisors, staff, management, senior executives and board members.
The goal of YPN is to offer real estate advisors in the early stages of their careers a platform to build relationships, grow their business & make a difference. Fundraising, paired with networking events, play a key role in the mission of benefitting the communities these outstanding young professionals serve.
“I am so impressed with what these highly motivated young professionals achieve with their efforts. Give for Good was an amazing evening on many levels – fundraising, fun raising and a demonstration of our strong Daniel Gale Sotheby’s culture,” enthused Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty CEO Deirdre O’Connell, who joined the party.
The 10-member YPN advisory board is complemented by 45 members representing Daniel Gale Sotheby’s 29 sales offices from Brooklyn and Queens to the East End of Long Island, all of whom also contribute to quarterly fundraising activities. Last year, YPN raised more than $100,000 for the Daniel Gale Foundation. Give for Good was co-chaired by Melissa Stark, sales manager for Daniel Gale Sotheby’s Huntington and Northport offices, and Kathleen McCarthy, real estate advisor from the Garden City office with the assistance of a committee of 11 volunteers made up of real estate advisors and marketing and administrative personnel.
“Melissa and I love working on Give for Good because we deeply believe that it is good to give,” said Kathleen McCarthy. “We couldn’t go it without the energy, commitment, and creativity of our committee and the overall enthusiasm and support of our Daniel Gale family.”
Because of the generous contributions of Give for Good event sponsors including Embrace Home Loans, Chase Home Lending, Citizen’s Bank, Wells Fargo, Sotheby’s International Realty, Bulovos Restoration, Financial Equities, Fuschetto Developments, Meadowbrook, Rally Point East, Valley Bank, Zito Firm, Patricia J. Petersen and Jon Pappas Esq., 100 percent of ticket sales were donated to the Daniel Gale Foundation.
