The Weichert Family of Companies has announced the outcome of its 25th Annual Charity Outing, raising $165,000 to benefit the American Cancer Society (ACS) and breast cancer research. Weichert says proceeds from the event bring the grand total that the company has raised for the cause to $2.307 million since the annual fundraiser began in 2011.
“For 25 years, Weichert friends, family, colleagues and sponsors have been working together to raise funds for the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research,” said charity committee Chairperson Joe McDonald, president of Residential Sales and Real Estate Services for Weichert, Realtors.
“We are thankful to the many volunteers, sponsors and individuals who donated their time, effort and funds to make this milestone year a resounding success. We enjoyed a day of golf, camaraderie and beautiful weather while raising money and awareness to support a very important cause,” he added.
Held at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, this year’s charity outing hosted more than 200 golfers, along with two dozen paint-and-sip participants.
The guest speaker, Alexis Oakley, a breast cancer survivor and sales associate with Weichert for nine years, shared her breast cancer journey and was presented the Jacelyn Botti Emeritus Award. Jacelyn “Jacé” Botti is a former president of residential sales at Weichert and founder of the charity outing.
“It was such an honor to be the guest speaker and share my story at the 25th Charity Outing,” Oakley said. “I hope that hearing about all the ups, downs and comebacks I endured helped to reaffirm the commitment of those in attendance to support the American Cancer Society, a tremendous organization.”
Oakley expressed her satisfaction with the event’s smooth execution and larger turnout, and claimed she was humbled by the tremendous support she received from friends and colleagues.
“So many people came up to me afterwards to hug me, encourage me, and thank me for being brave enough to speak. It is something I remember for the rest of my life,” she said.
