Portland, OR. Windermere Stellar hosted its seventh annual charity golf tournament, presented by Penrith Home Loans, at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Northeast Portland. This year the tournament on September 19th raised more than $50,000 to benefit the Windermere Foundation, which serves local low-income children and families, totaling more than a quarter-million dollars since its inception. Tammy Witten, Dr. Mike Regan, Racheal Weaver and Windermere Stellar broker, Bill Grange celebrate a well-played round.

Players hit the putting green in preparation for Windermere Stellar’s seventh annual charity golf tournament.

“We can attribute this tournament’s continued success to Windermere Stellar’s dedicated team of brokers, staff, clients and partners who have always pitched in to make this a great event,” said Cary Perkins, Windermere Stellar broker and one of the tournament’s organizers. “This golf tournament is just one example of how we serve our community. To us, real estate is more than selling houses, it’s about making an investment within the communities where we live and work, whether that is through volunteering, fundraising or initiating change.”

The golf tournament is one of the many fundraising campaigns that Windermere Stellar launches throughout the year in support of the Windermere Foundation. The personal donations made by the brokers and other annual events — such as auctions, sales and galas — have raised nearly $3 million and benefited more than 159 local organizations. All of these efforts hold a common thread of supporting low-income children and families in our communities.
