On the heels of the grand opening for the St. Jude Dream Home, Realtor Jeremy Callahan announced via video that he will donate $500 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for each new family he helps buy or sell real estate between now and August 31.
“My goal is to donate at least $10,000 to St. Jude, and all that would take is 20 new families jumping on board,” said Mr. Callahan. “We sold 816 homes last month in our association, so I believe 20 homes should be a snap, and of course, I’ll do everything I can to make sure that happens. I also challenge fellow Realtors in our area to join me so our impact grows exponentially.”
In the video, Mr. Callahan says families don’t have to close on the purchase or sale to qualify, but only need to start the initial consultation and paperwork to get things started. Proceeds will be donated once the family does close on their home, even if after the August 31 deadline.
Mr. Callahan is a Realtor with Signature Brokers, a major sponsor of this year’s St. Jude Dream Home in Prairie Pass in Apison.
Broker/owner Gina Sakich wasn’t surprised to hear the announcement. “Jeremy is always so giving of his time and energy, no matter whether his clients, his fellow colleagues, or to organizations he cares about,” said Ms. Sakich. “We’re so honored that he has taken our company’s sponsorship to new levels and thrilled to have him with us.”
"Mr. Callahan is no stranger to unconventional means of giving back in big ways," officials said. "Soon after moving back to the Chattanooga area early last year, the top producing Realtor with Signature Brokers fundraised nearly $25,000 for the elderly in our community by participating in Dancing with the Chattanooga Stars."
