More than 600 Realtors and guests gathered in Vancouver in December for the annual Sutton Group – West Coast Realty holiday party. During the evening, guests showed their support for the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund by purchasing 50/50 tickets. “Our 19 West Coast offices worked in synergy and sold $11,760 worth of tickets before and during the event,” says Curtis Cottrell, VP marketing for Sutton Group – West Coast Realty.  “When Santa drew the lucky ticket, it was Mike Hofer, manager for our Killarney office, who was the very surprised and elated 50/50 winner of $5,880 cash. In turn, Mike generously donated $1,000 back, for a grand total of $6,880 raised that evening.”
