Laing+Simmons Parramatta has marked its 21st year in business by partnering with one of western Sydney’s most integral charity organisations.
The agency announced that from 1 July to the end of 2016 it will donate $300 to the Westmead Medical Research Foundation (WMRF) for every property the team sells.
The move by Laing+Simmons Parramatta follows the group’s Granville and Auburn offices, which have also joined the campaign.
Group principal Ray Fayad said the final figure to be donated is likely to be in the vicinity of $40,000.
“We’ve been lucky to have called Parramatta home for the last 21 years and you can’t help but feel a strong connection to the area,” he said.
“The role that the inspiring team at Westmead play in so many different people’s lives is something everyone who lives in the local area should acknowledge and appreciate.
“This is our way of showing our appreciation for the tremendous work they do. While we’re turning 21, we want to share the celebration much more broadly. The people of western Sydney have been very good to us and we’re proud to give something back.”
WMRF chief operating officer Belinda Szafraniec thanked the franchise for its support and said it will go a long way to help those in need.
“We are so grateful for businesses like Laing+Simmons Parramatta who give so generously to our organisation,” she said.
“This money will go towards critical care and life-saving research at Westmead and will help the thousands of patients who attend Westmead Hospital every day.”
