I am extremely proud to announce that the Koutroubis Charitable Foundation has raised $145,000 to date for one of my favorite charties ... Sick Kids Hospital.
How does this tie into real estate you're asking?
The answer is two-fold:
1. George Koutroubis was my real estate partner. He passed away at a mere 36 years of age. In 2009, a charitable foundation was established in his name.
2. Real estate has not only been very good from a monetary perspective, more importantly, it has been very good from a lifestyle perspective. Real estate offers the flexibility to dedicate your time to worthy charities that help your community.
*As a side note, the majority of the Board of Directors is involved in real estate.
