March of Dimes St. Louis March For Babies

Did you know that in the United States one in ten babies is born premature? Sadly some of them don’t survive and others carry on birth defects that affect the rest of their lives. But with the help of March of Dimes, we have seen the rates of premature birth decline as much as ten percent. Lower preterm birth rates help families and also help save our nation’s healthcare system millions in costs.

The March of Dimes, founded by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, is a nonprofit organization that works to improve the health of mothers and babies.  The noble mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. The funds the March of Dimes raise assist community programs, advocates in Washington, supports medical research and educates families.

Our friends at Fischer & Frichtel take fun and philanthropy seriously. This year their construction team, office team and sales team are competing against each other to see who can raise the most money for the March of Dimes March for Babies. In addition their construction team built an adorable playhouse that looks like a tiny version of one of their beautifully constructed homes. This playhouse will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds going to the March of Dimes. Click here to learn about their raffle.

This year the March of Dimes is hosting its March for Babies 2 mile walk in Forest Park on Saturday, April 29th.  The Boehmer Team is looking forward to participating in the walk and would love to have you join us. You can also participate by making a donation here: http://www.marchforbabies.org/team/TheBoehmerTeam

The St. Louis region goal we hope to help the March for Babies reach is a whopping $650,000. So come on out, St. Louis, and join in this great cause that supports families and communities.

The Boehmer Team Combine Real Estate and Philanthropy

2016 brought an active real estate market to the St. Louis and St. Charles County, Missouri areas and signs point to a similar 2017. The busy market was both demanding and rewarding for The Boehmer Team, who was able to help hundreds of families and individuals buy or sell a home. 

With each home that The Boehmer Team lists, a donation is made to Sunshine Kids, a charity benefitting children with cancer. The Sunshine Kids listing donation program was created by their brokerage, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties and is available to all BHHS Select Properties agents. For the last 8 years, The Boehmer Team has been recognized as top contributors to the listing donation program.

In addition to the listing program, The Boehmer Team works events that raise funds for Sunshine Kids all year long. Sunshine Kids is a national organization that has benefitted St. Louis and St. Charles County area children through trips and events where they can interact with other children recovering from or in treatment for cancer.

“Our support of the Sunshine Kids has never wavered,” says Linda Boehmer. “We are one hundred percent committed to the children and families that face their challenge with a strength and passion that we cannot imagine.  They are the true heroes.”

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices continually works to generate support for Sunshine Kids among their 44,000 agents nationally. The Boehmer Team is committed to Sunshine Kids and has a variety of fundraisers throughout the year. This dedication has earned The Boehmer Team a spot as one of the top 10 contributors to Sunshine Kids in the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network nationwide.

Another organization that is near and dear to The Boehmer Team is Hunt For Justice. The Boehmer Team was fortunate to meet Chris and Jessie Hunt when they helped them purchase a home after relocating from out-of-state over ten years ago. 

“They are wonderful people with huge hearts and a desire to help others,” said Linda Boehmer. “Their dedication is contagious.”

The Boehmer Team’s support for Hunt For Justice includes: sponsoring trivia events, volunteering and sponsoring opportunities at the annual Hunt for Justice Golf Tournament, donating items for the annual garage sale fundraiser, operating a survivor football pool that donates proceeds to the organization and making a contribution for anyone who buys or sells a home that uses or learns of The Boehmer Team through the Hunt for Justice organization.

The Boehmer Team had the opportunity to help another local first responder that suffered an extreme hardship in 2016.  They were able to assist this family by making a donation that will allow them to make structural alterations needed to make their home suitable for their needs.

In addition The Boehmer Team strongly support the St. Charles Lions Club by sponsoring trivia night, golf tournaments, raffles, and holiday support for the Missouri School for the Blind residents.

The entire Boehmer Team is willing to help when needed.  All members of the team share a genuine caring nature and desire to give back to the community in which they live and work. The team also support numerous local school events including sports, dance, theatrical, young business leaders and various other student activities and organizations.

“There is no better way to say thank you to our friends, family, valued clients, local organizations and schools that have continually supported our business than to give back to them in any way we can,” says Kelly Boehmer. “It can be in the form of time, monetary donations, or any type of support that is needed to be rewarding.  We are grateful for the opportunities to give back.”
