On your mark, get set… GOBBLE! It's time again for our annual Turkeys for the Triangle fundraiser to feed our neighbors in need this holiday season.
Working with pre-selected area non-profit and military organizations, Turkeys for the Triangle is committed to donating over 5,000 frozen turkeys to feed more than 20,000 people this Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Started by our Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston Founder and Chairman, Don Walston over 15 years ago, Turkeys for the Triangle has donated more than 40,000 turkeys to anchor holiday meals for more than 175,000 food-insecure people.
"It breaks my heart to know that there are families in our local communities who struggle to put food on the table, especially during the holidays when so many of us are celebrating with special meals," said Walston. "Turkeys for the Triangle is our answer to that sad reality; it is a way our company, our clients, and our kind neighbors can give to the greater good, to feed those in need."
Now through Tuesday, December 17th, our real estate agents and staff will sell Turkeys for the Triangle raffle tickets to gather funds to support our holiday turkey donations in mid-November and mid-December.

Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston has always been committed to supporting our local community as well as our military men and women who serve our great nation.
Our CBHPW Cary office chose to give this holiday season by supporting active duty military in conjunction with the nonprofit group Military Missions in Action (MMIA). The office took part in an MMIA event called "Fill the Footlocker." The entire staff pitched in and they filled a mind-blowing 1,377 boxes which were full of gifts, supplies and nonperishable items that will be delivered directly to our military overseas.
CBHPW has been affiliated with MMIA for years, as MMIA is an HPW Foundation sponsored charity, to help give back to our military in numerous ways. If you would like to donate to this cause and help our service members you can go to https://www.militarymissionsinaction.org/fill-the-footlocker to see a full list of needed supplies or to make a monetary donation.

Box trucks, cargo vans, pickup trucks and SUVs lined up at our Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston corporate office to collect and deliver more than 2,500 frozen turkeys to nonprofit and military organizations across Central North Carolina.
Despite the rain and cold temperatures, it was a great day to Help People Win, a commitment our company founder and chairman and Turkeys for the Triangle founder holds near and dear.
"I'll tell you what, it's one of those things," said Don Walston. "It's hard to describe the benefit when you see someone who really appreciates what you're doing for them– it's a– I don't know how to describe it but it's a warm feeling."
A five-year partner of our Turkeys for the Triangle program, Butterball generously donated 1,500 of the 2,500 turkeys we handed out this week.
