A commercial real estate broker and a number of Monroe
County area property owners are partnering for the third year of an innovative
fundraiser to benefit a number of charities in the region.
“This is something we can do for them,” said Brian Coyne,
director of marketing for Michael Baxter & Associates Commercial Real
Estate in Stroudsburg.
“This” is the High Five Charity Auction, where commercial
real estate properties will be auctioned off with a portion of the proceeds
going to charities, including Fitzmaurice Community Services, Gregory W. Moyer
Defibrillator Fund, Mady’s Angels, Monroe County Meals on Wheels and Pocono
Health System Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care.
High Five Charity Auction 3 will be a live auction Oct. 3 at
Desaki Restaurant on Route 611 in Swiftwater. Participants can bid on
commercial real estate as well as entertainment and other products or services.
Coyne said his company expects to have between 10 and 15
properties up for auction. Property owners agree to donate $5,000 or a percentage
of the property’s sale price to the charities. The seller and buyer split the
decision on how the money will be divided among the participating charities.
He said each of the charities is expected to take in about
$7,000 in new donations from the property sales, plus money earned through
ticket sales and raffles at the event.
But he said the property owners benefit, too.
“They’re definitely going to get a lot more looks than they
would have otherwise,” Coyne said. “It’s a win, win, win for everyone
involved.”
Organizers are accepting properties for auction and other
donations. For more information, visit www.baxcommercial.com.
