CBCF'S “Lease For A Cure” Embraced By Community-minded Real Estate Companies

CLIFTON, N.J. – Lease For A Cure, the trailblazing fundraising program that invites the real estate industry to participate in important breast cancer research, has unquestionably caught the eye of multi-family property owners and related industry vendors looking to make a difference in the communities and fields they serve.

The annual month long event has raised significant funds in the past two years to support the research efforts of Dr. Larry Norton, Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and his colleagues.

Every year Lease For A Cure has added more and more prominent apartment owners and related industry companies to its list of participants, resulting in fundraising efforts that annually surpass the previous year. In 2010, the initial Lease For A Cure event totaled more than $25,000 in donations, a number that grew in the 2011 2nd Annual program. More than 20 companies participated in the 2011 2nd Annual Lease For A Cure campaign.

Held during National Breast Cancer Awareness month, participants in Lease For A Cure donate $10 to the CBCF for every new lease signed and $20 for every renewal signed at their rental communities throughout October, and vendors participating donate per project.

“The real estate industry has always been extremely community minded and willing to become involved in important causes,” says CBCF Executive Director Leslye Schulman. “While we believed Lease For A Cure would be embraced by developers and property owners, the growth of the program and number of companies reaching out to participate has far exceeded our most optimistic expectations. Also, we’re excited and optimistic for the early buzz the 3rd Annual Lease For A Cure has been generating.”

Notable participants in this year’s effort include Value Companies, Affiliated Management, Archer & Greiner, AvalonBay Communities, BCS Interactive, Bertram Associates, BNE Real Estate Group, Bukiet Management, Goldberg Realty Associates, Hilton Management, JP Management LLC, Kriegman & Smith, Landmark Companies LLC, Landscape Maintenance, Quaker Group, Sterling Properties, Wessex Management LLC, RestoreCore and The Apts.
