For those that haven’t heard – I am doing a GIVE campaign where I give 5% of each commission to a different non-profit each quarter.

Did you know that Windermere has a Foundation as well?

We have all committed a portion of each commission to our Foundation and each local office gets to decide where their contributions go.  This last year (2018) Windermere Lane County decided to give to the following organizations.

1. Bags of Love: $3000

2. Casa: $2500

3. Food for Lane Co: $2500

4. Shelter Care: $1827

Please know that as my client – you have contributed to this!!  If you ever want to learn more – or how you can contribute even more – let me know.  I love the reality of GIVE and would love to share with you more about it or how you can help even more.

Yours – Coach Gina

4th Quarter GIVE
I’m so excited to announce I’m partnering with Kids’ First for the 4th Quarter GIVE!!
Have you heard of Kids’ First and what they do for our community? I have a friend that has been involved with them for years and has been educating me. Kids’ FIRST serves as Lane County’s Child Abuse Intervention Center. Its mission is to provide intervention and advocacy to children who have been victims of, or witnesses to, crime. When the unimaginable happens to children in our community, KF is part of the first response team that supports the healing process. At Kids’ FIRST, children receive medical exams, forensic interviews, and advocacy when alleged abuse has occurred. KF also houses grand jury on-site for children so they don’t have to go to an unfamiliar courthouse downtown.

Kids’ FIRST is a 501c3 non-profit. Its day-to-day operations are supported strictly by grants, child abuse assessment reimbursements, and private donations. Our support as a community is a vital piece of the puzzle.

Having worked with kids in the community through coaching for over 20 years I am passionate about support for the kids and their families that go through tough times. Sadly, the need is huge! I’m excited to share that they are in the beginning stages of acquiring a new building that will allow them to expand and improve their services to children and their families. I’m so excited!

Thanks for being part of my GIVE!!

GIVE 3^rd Quarter

In case you haven’t heard – this year I am donating 5% of each commission to a different non-profit each quarter.  This is in addition to the donation to the Windermere foundation each commission.  I am thrilled to be on this journey of Giving. Grateful to everyone that has been part of this journey –  clients, lenders, escrow and more!

This quarter I’m excited to be partnering with Willamette High School Water Polo!  I’m looking forward to helping out a club sport at the HS where I coach swimming and where I’ve coached a number of these same kids. Being a club sport means they need to come up with the funds to pay for pool time, coaches, and more.  I also have a couple families this quarter working with me on home sales whose families have had or do have kids involved in this sport.  I am a firm believer in kids being active/athletic and am excited to partner with another kids’ opportunity.  What a great partnership!!

Learn more at: www.willametteathletics.com.  If you’d like to donate you can do so at Willamette High School and let them know it’s for the Water Polo Club.  http://www.bethel.k12.or.us/willamette/

GREENHILL humane society

I’m excited to be partnering with Greenhill! My second quarter GIVE campaign came about through discussions with those around me.  I realized that finding an organization that matched my priorities and passion was going to be key.  I’ve always felt my pets are my fur babies and I used to take the EA kids on bike rides to Greenhill to visit the catery and the animals there.  I’m grateful for an organization that helps the people and animals in our community by providing a no-kill landing spot for our fur friends/babies in transition.  Their vision statement: “Greenhill Humane Society, SPCA envisions a community in which all companion animals have loving homes and are treated with compassion and respect.”  Their mission statement: “Greenhill Humane Society, SPCA will provide safe shelter for animals in transition, serve as advocates for animals and their people, work to end animal overpopulation and educate the public about compassion and responsibility towards all animals.”  So excited to be giving 5% of each commission to this organization this quarter.
