The Palm Springs/Palm Desert YMCA recently kicked off their annual fund-raising drive with an awards ceremony to rival the Oscars. Windermere Real Estate Coachella Valley helped get the 2010 Sustaining Campaign off to a great start with a contribution of $5,000 from the Windermere Foundation.

“Every time a Windermere sales associate sells a home, a donation is made to the Windermere Foundation,” explains Windermere Coachella Valley owner Bob Deville. “Windermere’s commitment to serving our communities goes beyond providing the best in real estate services. Windermere reaches out to help address the challenges faced by homeless and low-income families in the communities where we live and work, through grants from the Windermere Foundation,” adds Deville.
