ERA Key Realty Services’ Team Blue, DaMore Law, and CrossCountry Mortgage’s Eric Abeniam Team raised $1,335 for We're One Wilmington (WOW) through their annual Thanksgiving Pie Fundraiser.
“This year's fundraising event achieved remarkable success, owing to the kind-hearted contributions of pies, time, and financial support from local enterprises and community members,” said Team Blue Leader Lori Penney. 
She added that Margie Smolinsky of Josie’s Bakery, Two Lowell St., played a pivotal role in the success of the fundraiser through her “outstanding management in coordinating all orders.” For each pie purchased, a portion of the cost was donated to WOW.

A dozen ERA Key agents and staff helped build two new single-family homes at 521 and 523 Sunderland Road in Worcester recently during a recent build day for Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester.
The volunteer effort was organized by the Worcester office, which also contributed $500 to the local Habitat for Humanity office. An additional $326 has been raised to date through a fundraising page set up on Charity Proud.
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization that seeks to build “strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with families in need of decent and affordable housing. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage.”
“Helping Habitat for Humanity build homes is one way we also help to build a healthy, strong community,” said Framingham Manager Ali Corton. “Contributing time and effort as volunteers is as important to us as the financial contributions we make.”
Volunteers, pictured above, included Worcester Manager Kelly Brown, Framingham Manager Ali Corton, Auburn Manager Jonathan Boisjolie; Worcester Office Administrator Cyndi Quinn and Spencer Office Administrator Nicole Cusson, and agents Valerie Cohen, Bryan Davis, Kris Gaffney, Josh Hoffsommer, Brian Hurley, Erin Mahoney and Chris Reilly.
