ERA Grizzard Press Release

For the fourth consecutive year,  the #GivingTuesdayERA campaign will support Toys for Tots at multiple of our offices throughout Florida!

The following offices are participating in a Toy Drive through December 6th: The Villages, Dr. Phillips, DeLand, Mount Dora, Clermont and Leesburg! We're having our main event on November 29th so feel free to stop by and donate to a good cause. We're looking forward to the outcome!

What is Giving Tuesday?

Giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do here at ERA Grizzard and across the Team ERA network.

I’m excited to share we will be joining ERA affiliated brokerages worldwide to participate in an “act of giving” on #GivingTuesday, November 29.

For those unfamiliar with this day, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that connects diverse groups of individuals, communities and organizations around the world for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. 

As part of our efforts, we will join our ERA colleagues across the country to host a Toys for Tots toy drive during the holiday season. Toys for Tots, celebrating 75 years of service to our communities, is a national program with a local impact – they have programs in all 50 states and distribute an annual average of 18 million toys to seven million children in need. In 2021, 

ERA donated record-breaking 11,631 toys to children in need and now we want to surpass that goal in 2022!    

Please help us ensure every child has a gift this holiday season. We’ll be collecting donations of new, unwrapped toys in Leesburg, Doctor Phillips, Mount Dora, The Villages, DeLand and Clermont office locations. All donations will be distributed to local children. Our drive will run from Tuesday, November 1 through December 6. The toys will be picked up from each office on December 7.

Participating Office Details

Each participating office at ERA Grizzard Real Estate is going to be doing something different in order to get as many holiday gifts to children in need.

Whether you're looking to participate in the events or to just drop off a toy - we've got all the information you need to know!
