LOS GATOS, CA - Sereno Group was honored as one of the top 50 philanthropic corporate organizations in Santa Clara County for 2014 by the Silicon Valley Business Journal. Sereno Group was recognized as a result of the efforts from its 1% for Good movement.
Sereno Group was joined on the top 50 list by prominent Silicon Valley corporations, such as: Cisco Systems, Intel, Lam Research, Nvidia, and Oracle. Out of the 50 organizations named by the Silicon Valley Business Journal, Sereno Group ranked 31st. Sereno Group moved up one spot in the rankings from last year.
“This recognition validates all of the great work our Realtors perform in the community and their collective generosity. It is also incredibly humbling to be honored by the Silicon Valley Business Journal once again for our charitable work,” said Chris Trapani, Founder and CEO of Sereno Group. “The 1% for Good movement is part of the ethos of Sereno Group and its agents which focuses on the community first. It is tremendously inspiring that our relatively smaller company with 290 Realtors would be sharing honors of giving alongside great organizations such as the San Jose Sharks, the Sobrato Organization, and Adobe.”
Launched in 2012, the 1% for Good program is an office specific, agent driven, grassroots movement that donates to local non-profit, community-minded organizations. The 2015 recipients were: Fit Kids, Ada's Café, Kara, Hidden Villa & Friends of Deer Hollow Farm, Community Services Agency, Hakone, Life Services Alternatives, World Savvy, Montalvo Arts Center, Downtown Streets Team, Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley, Family Supportive Housing, Meals on Wheels, Coastal Watershed Council, and Survivors Healing Center.
