There were smiles all around as Richard Howell recently presented CAAA President Pam Peet with a $500 donation from his company Keller Williams Realty**. Richard feels very strongly that giving back to his community is important and has generously decided to donate a portion of Keller Williams’ commissions to charity. He explained how important it was to him to try and make a difference in someone else’s life and pledged “To give back part of every one of my successes in real estate because it’s the right thing to do!” So his team at Keller Williams offered to support CAAA with donations of a portion of their commission on real estate transactions for CAAA members, or any client who selects CAAA as the charity of their choice. It’s pretty obvious in the above picture that even Taka, Pam’s Bichon Frise, knows just how important a contribution like this will be in providing therapy dog services to our community. Thank you, Richard and everyone at Keller Williams Realty, Biltmore Partners who helped to make this generous contribution possible.

**At the time of this donation, Richard Howell was working for Keller Williams Realty. He is now working for AZ Homes That Help, part of North & Co. His new company is still dedicated to donating 15% of their commissions to the client’s charity of choice.
