Dear William Raveis Family,
A big note of thanks to our wonderful sales associates, managers, and support teams for their dedication to the William Raveis Charitable Fund (WRCF). Together over the years, we've successfully raised $5M+ for cancer research!
Everyone is affected by cancer in some way. The WRCF started in 2004, when Carolyn Deal, President of William Raveis, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Years later my wife, Candy Raveis, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and we changed our fundraising efforts to support a cure for all types of cancer. In 2015, WRCF partnered with Damon Runyon, and later with Dana-Farber, after a good friend told us about this prestigious organization and their commitment to groundbreaking cancer research.
Giving back to our communities and helping others is the heart and soul of our family business. Meghan Raveis, WRCF Managing Partner, championed our annual Ride + Walk and coordinated 40+ local events for Damon Runyon and Dana-Farber. Damon Runyon honored me in 2019, and Meghan Raveis sat on the Damon Runyon Board of Directors until 2023. Melissa Cohn, RVP of William Raveis Mortgage, also has a leadership role with Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. It has been an amazing journey.
Looking ahead, we have exciting WRCF activities underway (Art, Gold for Good, Dining, Shred-it events & more). Building on their success with Music 4 A Cure, Ryan Raveis and our Fairfield and Boston committees are launching two Ravestock concerts in loving memory of Meghan Raveis this fall. Please reach out to colleagues, family, friends in the local community and join us. Event details are in our weekly Tell-All Tuesday newsletter.
As I visit our William Raveis offices, from Florida to South Carolina to Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and everywhere in between, I am reminded how very special we are...Winner Top Luxury Brokerage by Inman Golden I Club and William Raveis' Elite Concierge Services outshines the marketplace for home, mortgage, insurance, utilities and moving services. Bigger and Brighter...let's amplify this success in 2025.
Go Team!
With gratitude,
Bill
