Real estate brokerage gives back to local communities for annual event

Real estate agents and employees with Long & Foster Real Estate’s Richmond and Charlottesville regional offices rolled up their sleeves to raise money and awareness for cancer research last month. The Long & Foster team took part in the Massey Challenge fundraiser, running in Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10K on April 12 and raising almost $4,000 for the charitable event.

Adding to the fun of the fundraiser was a competition among all brokerages in the Richmond Association of Realtors (RAR), which challenged its members to raise the most money and awareness for the event. Long & Foster received RAR’s Outstanding Community Engagement award for the brokerage’s participation in the 10K.

“Giving back to our communities is what we do at Long & Foster, and joining the Massey Challenge allowed us to support a cause that’s close to our hearts—fighting cancer and saving lives—while having a great time together,” said Dawn Bradley, regional manager and senior vice president of Long & Foster in Richmond.

For 20 years, Virginia Commonwealth University’s Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10K have made strides in the fight against cancer through the Massey Challenge, presented by Apex System, a division of ASGN, Inc. The Massey Challenge has raised over $6 million to advance cancer research since 2005.
