Let's Build A Stronger Community
Karen and I love our community and feel it’s important to give back to the places that have done so much for us over the years. You see, our son, Alex, has cerebral palsy. Over the past 17 years, not only have we received support and guidance from some amazing people and organizations in the Gaston County area, but we also know that there are plenty of other families like ours that need that vital assistance too. Three charities in Gaston County, in particular, are near and dear to us for the work they do for children and adults with special needs. And we want to show them support in return.
After closing on your new home, we'll contribute $500 to your choice of one of the three charities listed below. And if you can also make a personal donation, we'll match that donation up to an additional $500.
Please take a moment to learn about the following three incredible organizations and the work they do. We encourage you to please help however you can. Thank you!
