Commercial real estate brokers will raise money Thursday to benefit the nonprofit Family Service of Santa Monica at the 14th annual Los Angeles Broker Challenge, which has raised more than $850,000 over the years on behalf of the charity.

Up to 16 six-member teams of brokers will compete at the Beach Club in Santa Monica in beach volleyball, a surfboard relay, basketball, paddle tennis and golf.

Presented by the Los Angeles Commercial Realty Assn. and hosted by Arden Realty Inc., the event will be open to the public beginning at 6 p.m. It will feature cocktails, dinner and a silent auction. Admission is $75.

Tickets are available through LACRA at (626) 577-5414.
