We make it our mission to treat clients like family, and they return the favor by welcoming us into their homes for holiday drop-ins! But the best holiday gift we could receive is your referral. And we even offer a special bonus. When you refer a friend, colleague, client, or family member to work with us, they’ll get world-class service AND we’ll donate $500 to the local charity of your choice!
Dear Friends, Family, and Clients,
‘Tis the season to celebrate and give thanks! We want to take a break from the usual Chic vs. Geek to bring an especially deserving group to your attention during the holidays: foster youth, who, through no fault of their own, have not had their own parents available to raise them.
It is not uncommon for a child in foster care to move between eight or more homes during their formative years. Only 50% of foster youth graduate from high school, and just 3-4% earn a college degree. 20% become homeless the day they age out of care.
We can be a pillar of support to change these odds through donations to Pivotal, a local nonprofit. The team at Pivotal are willing to do whatever it takes to improve outcomes for foster youth, including scholarships, academic tutoring, professional development, workshops, summer internships, and job placement for over 500 foster youth per year.
But Pivotal provides so much more — their dedicated staff creates a community where foster youth feel understood and supported.
We invite you to read about Jaxmine, who caught COVID and had to sleep in their car, terrified they were in an unsafe situation. Pivotal got Jaxmine a hotel room to help them recover, and now they’re studying Molecular Biology with a 4.0 GPA. Sadly, Jaxmine’s story is not uncommon. They are one of nearly half a million foster youth in the U.S.
We are running a personal campaign to raise $5,000 for Pivotal by Christmas Day. Will you help us get there with a gift of any size — $10, $100, $1,000?
Thanks so much for your consideration!
With gratitude,
When you refer a friend, colleague, or client to sell or purchase a home through Chic ‘n’ the Geek, we won’t just provide world class service. We’ll also donate $500 to the charity of your choice. It’s just one way we say “thank you” for being part of our real estate family.
Tuesday might mark the official Winter Solstice, but we’re already feeling the season’s first chill. That’s why we’re grateful for the roof over our heads and the hot cup of cocoa in our hands, and we pause to offer comfort to those who are not so fortunate this time of year.
Please consider donating to a local charity doing good things in your community. If you need suggestions, the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits put together this guide.
