This past February, DF Multifamily, a division of Drucker + Falk (DF), had nineteen of their apartment communities take ‘the plunge’ to benefit the Special Olympics in their respective regions. These communities were spread across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia and participants included DF employees who, in addition to ‘taking the plunge’ in DF’s community pools, also fundraised for the incredible cause throughout the month.
The nineteen DF communities and two Regional Property Managers represented a total of seven teams and collectively raised nearly $8,000. Their individual fundraising goals were promoted for weeks leading up to taking ‘the plunge’ on social media and throughout their communities. Residents and other DF team members were encouraged to show their support by making a donation and showing up to watch the teams take ‘the plunge’ into the community pools.
“At Drucker + Falk, we are committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve, and we encourage our team members to continually engage in charitable endeavors as it supports our core values. It was truly heartening to witness our multifamily communities unite in support of this special cause, fostering a sense of camaraderie and fun among residents and staff alike,” shared Tarra Secrest, Marketing Director for Drucker + Falk.
