Local Coldwell Banker Bain real estate brokers Don Elliott and George Roth formed a unique partnership with the Skagit County Historical Museum and have recently made a donation in an effort to help raise money for the organization.
The $1,515 check was presented by longtime La Conner resident Bob Skeele, along with Don and George, Museum Director Jo Wolfe and Museum Board President Sara Patton.
“This donation – and the partnership Don and George created with us – goes a long way in helping us keep educational programs, exhibits and historical preservation up and running. We couldn’t do it without community support like this,” said Jo Wolfe, Museum Director.
Each time a Museum member, or friend or relative of a member, buys or sells a home with Don and George, they and Coldwell Banker Bain will donate an amount equal to 10 percent of the commission received to the organization.
George added, “We love living and working here in Skagit Valley and feel very fortunate to be part of this community. We want to preserve and enjoy the Valley as much as possible, and we try to convey that in our real estate website, WhyWeLoveSkagit.com.”
Coldwell Banker Bain|Seal established its Community Partnership program as a way for the company and its brokers to give back to the organizations that are committed to the welfare of our communities. Since the program was created in 1988, Coldwell Banker Bain|Seal brokers have donated more than $1.67 million to over 650 non-profit 501(c)3 organizations.
