“The Behr Team, and all of Fuller Sotheby’s International Realty, makes it a priority to support the local community, and we were especially pleased and honored to take part in the Flight to Luxury event,” said Linda Behr of The Behr Team. “The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver is an incredibly important organization, and we were proud to join with a number of Denver’s most prominent companies to surpass the fundraising goal. We’re looking forward to continuing to contribute any way we can.”
