Harcourts agencies have backed a range of charitable initiatives, including skydiving, cycling, and wearing red, to raise funds supporting vulnerable children and cancer patients.
Harcourts South Australia, NAI Harcourts Pinnacle, and four Harcourts Local offices have participated in charity initiatives, raising money to support cancer patients and children in need.
Participants from multiple Harcourts South Australia offices have skydived thousands of metres to raise funds in the 'Jump for Puddle Jumpers' event, supporting vulnerable children and families.
Money raised from the event will provide children, who are mostly in out-of-home care, with food relief, mentorship, and opportunities for experiences.
Among the programs the Puddle Jumpers charity funds are camps and sibling reunification events, allowing children to create positive memories and enjoy being kids.
In addition to several team members, Harcourts South Australia CEO Heather Edwards also made ‘the leap’ while wearing the network’s blue rosette.
Head of the Harcourts Foundation, Pauline Smith, said the initiative reflected the network’s commitment to making a positive impact and supporting causes that improved the lives of children.
“We are delighted to report that the collective raised amount was an incredible $10,902,” she said.
Another initiative saw a NAI Harcourts Pinnacle member compete in the 100km Mater's 'Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer' event.
Commercial sales and leasing consultant Ryan Chesney joined 14 other members of ‘Team Family’ to raise over $13,000, securing their position as the fourth-highest team.
Funds from the annual event will be allocated to cancer research and patient care through the Mater Foundation, with the aim of improving survival rates, supporting clinical trials, and providing equipment for cancer research.
Chesney said it had been a pleasure to participate in the rewarding initiative, commending his team’s dedication and effort.
"Completing the 100km ride was a challenge, but knowing we were contributing to cancer research and patient support made it all worthwhile,” he said.
Additionally, four Harcourts Local offices have participated in the 'Day for Daniel', Australia's largest child safety awareness event, launched by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.
The annual initiative, held on the last Friday of October, honoured the memory of Daniel Morcombe, a 13-year-old boy who was abducted and murdered in 2003.
The event encouraged participants to "Wear Red, Educate, and Donate" to support the organisation in its mission to raise awareness about protecting children.
Harcourts Local joined thousands of other Australians by wearing red to raise awareness and contribute to the cause.
The event encouraged parents, educators, and community leaders to start conversations about safety with young people and to implement safety education activities in schools and early learning centres.
The funds raised from Day for Daniel will be used to develop free safety resources and programs, teaching children how to stay safe and providing support for young victims of crime.
Harcourts Local - Banyo agent, Tim Williams, said that keeping children safe was the responsibility of the entire community.
"Wear Red, Educate, and Donate to make a difference on Day for Daniel,” he concluded.
