Children's Free Care Fund
A Commitment to Children
Howard Hanna Real Estate Services is proud to report that our 23rd annual ‘Choo ChooChow Chow’ fundraising campaign for Children’s Free Care Funds was a huge success!
We would like to thank all who attended our Chow Chow events, all of our sponsors and those who donated to our events, and all of our sales associates, managers and employees who devoted their time, effort and energy to the Children’s Free Care Fund.
From great events by our Ohio offices at Thorn Creek Winery, Paradise Lakes Golf Course, Freedom Design Showroom, the Solon Center for Arts, Bay Lanes Bowling Center and Privilege Nite Club where the first annual ‘Doctors Rock for Tots 2011’ was held; to events by our Pennsylvania offices at the State Capital Rotunda in Harrisburg, Whispering Woods Golf Course in Erie, Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Treesdale Community Center, the P.A.A., The New Englander and Boyd Community Center, to name just a few; along with the traditional Chow Chow luncheons held right in our offices, our 2011 campaign promises to be a record breaking year! We continue to tally the totals of the more than 140 Chow Chow events Howard Hanna offices held during this past September, October, November and December. In 2010, Howard Hanna raised $617,221 for Children’s Free Care Funds making the total over the past 22 years, more than $6.7 million!
The money we raise in each region of the company stays in the local area to help assure needy children will not be denied the best medical care available – whether it is to help those without healthcare pay for medical treatment or for cutting-edge care that insurance may not cover. Eight different Children’s hospital facilities, local to our market areas, benefit from our companywide fundraising efforts: Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Hershey Medical Center, Pinnacle Health System in Harrisburg, Hamot Medical Center ‘Circle of Care’ and the Shriner’s Hospital in Erie, the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital, University Hospital Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, MetroHealth Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Akron Children’s Hospital and Akron Children’s Hospital Mahoning Valley.
“Children’s hospitals cannot do what they do without the support of the local community”, says CEO Howard W. “Hoddy” Hanna, III. “Your support helps improve the health and well-being of area children who are faced with disability, disease or chronic conditions. More than ever, children need all of our help. It is our pleasure to facilitate that support.”
 Winner of 2012 Ford Mustang
Every year, along with all of the events we host on behalf of the Children’s Free Care Fund, Howard Hanna donates a new car for a raffle that is a part of each event. This year, it was a bright red, 2012 Ford Mustang. The winning ticket was drawn at our Corporate Office Chow Chow luncheon on December 16th, 2011.
We were honored to have 11-year old Taylor, accompanied by her mother Nicole, join us from Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to draw the winning ticket. Nicole’s younger brother Ryan, a triple-transplant patient at Children’s, was to draw the winner but was unable to attend.
The family is from Western NY and Pittsburgh is a second home to them. Ryan was born with a genetic disorder and his organs began to fail at a very young age. He received his first kidney transplant from his father at age 4; a liver transplant from his Aunt at age 7 and then needed the donor kidney to be replaced earlier this year. In Ryan’s honor, Taylor drew the winning ticket. She was in town to celebrate her 12th birthday with Ryan and her family.
CEO Hoddy” Hanna, announced the winner: Harmony Goldstein of Eastlake, OH. As a testament to the scope of Howard Hanna, the winning ticket was sold by the Howard Hanna Pepper Pike at Eton office in Ohio, by Administrative Assistant Lauren Debeljak.
Congratulations Harmony, many thanks to Taylor and her mother, and all of our best wishes to Ryan.
