January 12, 2009, Honolulu, Hawaii – Each year, Colliers Monroe Friedlander employees give generously and 2008, despite economic conditions, was no different. Generous contributions are made to charitable non-profit organizations such as Aloha United Way and Parents and Children Together (PACT), just to name a few. The 110 Colliers employees managed to raise $12,270.32 in 2006 for Aloha United Way and with tougher economic times that lay ahead, still managed to increase their contributions every year since. This year, Colliers employees donated a total of $15,136.71 and are currently seeking the opportunity to add another $10,000 by obtaining the most votes though Oceanic Cable.
Every holiday season, Colliers employees show their support of the Parents and Children Together (PACT) Program by adopting a family or child. In 2007, Colliers provided 50 children gifts with each child receiving clothing, books, blankets and miscellaneous necessities. In 2008, the company adopted 11 families, providing them with everyday essentials, clothing, toys, food and monetary donations. “It is truly an effort from the heart on all levels. With participation from support staff to executives, we are able to help families experience a joyful holiday season,” says Sarah Lee Morihara, President of Colliers Monroe Friedlander. “We are proud of the positive impact that the generosity of our people has on the community.”
