Prudential Georgia Realty Peachtree City office raises $4,500 for March of Dimes

For the fifth consecutive year, Prudential Georgia Realty’s Peachtree City office recently took part in the annual March of Dimes WalkAmerica.

The six-mile walk for WalkAmerica, held April 24, and nearly half the 60-agent Prudential Georgia Realty Peachtree City office participated.

Debbie Pitts, a Realtor with Prudential Georgia Realty, again served as the office’s coordinator and team captain.ÊShe has volunteered for the March of Dimes cause for more than a decade. Since getting involved with the March of Dimes cause in 2000, the Peachtree City office has quadrupled its donations raised. For 2004, the office raised an impressive $4,500 for the cause.

“We have a very close, generous and giving group of people in our real estate office,” said Pitts. “There were area companies with more than 250 employees who only had like 10 walkers. I’m proud of our nearly 50 percent turn-out for Prudential Georgia Realty.”

WalkAmerica is held across the nation and Peachtree City was one of the metro Atlanta locations for the fund-raising walk. The walk is held in hundreds of communities in all 50 states and is the single largest fundraising event for March of Dimes. Funds raised for the March of Dimes cause will be used to prevent birth defects and infant mortality through research programs, community services, and education.

Raising funds for WalkAmerica was one small way Realtors with Prudential Georgia Realty could help a good cause and carry through on the company’s “We Care” theme, according to a company spokesperson.
