Holding the celebratory cake is Barney Gordon, manager of Royal LePage State’s Ancaster office, and broker of record Joe Ferrante.

The third annual Royal LePage State BBQ for Shelter raised $4,500 for local women’s shelters in the Hamilton area. The popular lunchtime event welcomed more than 175 community members.

“We were absolutely thrilled with the turn out and the incredible support from the community,” says broker Joe Ferrante. “The generosity of our clients, partners, sponsors, volunteers and the public was truly heart warming.”
