Brokers Raise $100,000 for Family Service

Commercial real estate brokers raised more than $100,000 last month for the nonprofit Family Service of Santa Monica at the 14th annual Broker Challenge presented by the Los Angeles Commercial Realty Assn.

The event on the shore in Santa Monica drew 300 brokers and other commercial real estate professionals for a day of competitive sports activities.

Funds are raised through corporate sponsors, team entry fees and at the dinner and live auction after the athletic events.

Since 1987, the Broker Challenge has raised more than $1 million for the family service, which provides social, educational and behavioral-health services for hundreds of children and families in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles.
