Building a School!

We're excited and proud to tell you that the commercial real estate community has joined together to raise $25k to build a school in Guatemala through Pencils of Promise. We heard from the non-profits founder, Adam Braun, at a recent gathering we held of top real estate execs in Miami, and we want to thank the following generous folks for each contributing $2,500: Bruce & Kate Baschuk,Robert Bellinger &Natalie Wilensky, Jim Bachner, David & Kim Kessler, Jesse Garchik, Arlene & Bob Begelman, Herb & Ben Miller, Bob Murphy & Gigi Webb, and the Bisnow family.

We will keep you up to date with pictures of the school as its being built. Thanks again to everyone!
