Berns Team's Generous Commitment to Community Support
The Berns Team, a highly respected real estate group, recently made headlines with their extraordinary initiative, Raise to Give, which focuses on bolstering community support. This innovative program allows clients to vote on which local organizations will benefit from a sizable donation, and this year, they allocated a remarkable $105,000 to seven nonprofit groups.
Community impact is at the heart of the Raise to Give event. The Berns Team believes that every home transaction contributes to meaningful change within the community. They aim to empower their clients, whom they've guided through real estate journeys, by allowing them to choose where these significant donations should go.
Understanding the Impact of the Donations
Following a successful vote by clients, The Berns Team was able to distribute funds to a variety of organizations addressing critical issues like homelessness, emergency relief, historical preservation, and community development. The donations included:
- $50,000 to Door of Hope
- $25,000 to Eaton Fire Survivors Network
- $12,500 to Friends in Deed
- $7,500 to Eaton Fire Collaborative
- $5,000 to Harambee Ministries
- $2,500 to Habitat for Humanity, San Gabriel Valley

Laura Berns, co-owner of The Berns Team, expressed their broader mission: "Our purpose has always extended beyond real estate. Raise to Give strengthens our community ties, leading to impactful directions by our clients." Jason Berns, also co-owner, reinforced this sentiment, stating, "Real estate facilitates change; giving back fulfills our purpose, driven by client trust enriching moments like these. Their voices guided this entire initiative."
A Community-Centric Celebration
The exclusive Raise to Give event coincided with The Berns Team's Fall Festival Client Appreciation celebration. This annual gathering attracted over three hundred clients who enjoyed food, entertainment, and witnessed the announcement of donation recipients.

The Berns Team’s dedication to community service is unwavering, with plans to expand the Reach to Give initiative in upcoming years.
