Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty in Kitchener, Ont. hosted its Third Annual Trees for Toys, a special by-invitation customer appreciation event and toy drive organized by the brokerage’s sales reps.

“We are delighted with the huge turnout of more than 1,300 people,” says Peter Kritz, broker and operations manager. “Approximately 500 toys were donated to the Waterloo Knights of Columbus New Toys for Needy Kids Toy Drive thanks to the generosity of our customers and the dedication of our sales representatives.”

Participating sales reps purchased trees or wreaths for their clients and invited them to come pick up their gift, enjoy some refreshments and have their picture taken with Santa. To remember those less fortunate at this special time of year, clients were encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys, which were donated to the Toy Drive.

Other fun activities included face painting, holiday movies in the Consumer Centre Theatre, photo opportunities with Frosty and Rudolph, and a visit from the Kitchener Fire Department.
