Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team announced, ‘Charity Saturday,’ which pairs a local business with a local charity to both drive business and raise money for a number of important programs in town.
As a local REALTOR® in Arlington for more than 30 years, Steve and the Team are always looking to give back to the place where so many of their clients, business partners, friends and family call home.
“This is a great opportunity to bring together many different facets of the community for a great cause,” said Steve McKenna of The Home Advantage Team. “We are proud to facilitate this event and we encourage everyone to get out and not only shop local, but give local, too.”
On December 7th, or ‘Charity Saturday,' The Home Advantage Team will make a donation for every customer that makes a purchase at the following locations, for the following charities:
Jimmy's Steer House: Donations go to Arlington EATS (up to $2,000)
