The third annual Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHH) event in London, Ont. raised more than $100,000 for local charities recently. Several Sutton sales associates, brokers and staff played hockey and helped to organize the event. Among the top fundraising teams were Sutton Group – Preferred Realty, in third place with $8,185 and the London St. Thomas Association of Realtors (LSTAR) in fourth spot with $7,775 raised.
Playing for the Sutton team were Hayden Payne, Warren Shantz and Ken Payne. Broker of record Gerry Weir donated $2,000 to sponsor the team. Sales rep Dan Grantham helped to co-ordinate the event and has served on the board of Youth Opportunities Unlimited, and office manager Lori Payne volunteered for the second time.
“What is so fantastic is the participation of the pros,” says Shantz. “Three recognized stars have offered to come back next year, raise money and join the Sutton Group Preferred team because we have so much fun. The dollars raised locally stay local and it just does not get any better than that.”
Alex Sworik, Michael Legg, Wayne Gibson and Bruce Sworik from Sutton Group – Select Realty were on the LSTAR team.
