Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Makes Charitable Donation to Restoration Now in Fort Collins

Broker associate Steve Balmer raised $1,500 during Ride the Range event

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has made a $1,500 charitable contribution to Restoration Now in Fort Collins. Broker associate Steve Balmer raised the money as a participant in Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s recent Ride the Range fundraising event that raised a total of nearly $33,000 for various Colorado charities. Restoration Now, a ministry of Grace Church, brings hope to residents of Fort Collins through home renovation.

“I chose to support Restoration Now as a way of giving back to the community,” said Balmer. “As a Realtor, I find it imperative to lend my support, especially when it relates to improving the housing of those less fortunate. Restoration Now fills a void in our community that many agencies just can’t match. It is astonishing to see the terrible situations some of these families live in day after day, and I am proud to help and serve in this small way.”

Through its relationship with local support agencies, Restoration Now organizes work projects to help clients in need of home repairs. The non-profit organization partners with the United Way, Northern Colorado Aids Project and Volunteers
of America. Projects can be as simple as exterior painting, home winterization and providing handicap accessibility, while others have been as extensive as window replacements, roofing repairs and kitchen remodels. For more information, visit
