The Pasadena office of Coldwell Banker Realty hosted its 20th-anniversary First Responders BBQ for Pasadena first responders and their support staff. The annual BBQ was created to celebrate first responders on a local level in honor of the heroic acts of first responders on September 11, 2001. Every year, real estate agents affiliated with the Pasadena office of Coldwell Banker Realty make the event possible by donating money, preparing the food and volunteering their time to serve. This year, between three hundred to four hundred meals were served in one day.
“This BBQ is a wonderful way for us to show our support to the amazing people on the front lines, especially during this time. We are happy to provide a setting where members of different departments can let their hair down and visit with each other over a meal, instead of a crime scene,” said Lori Ramirez, branch manager of the Pasadena office of Coldwell Banker Realty. “They are so appreciative of our homemade BBQ, and we love showing our support. It's become an annual tradition between the departments and the Pasadena office.”
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of this great event, Jamie Duran, president of Coldwell Banker Realty Southern California, Steven Heravi, regional vice president for the Greater Los Angeles-Inland Region of Coldwell Banker Realty in Southern California, and Ramirez presented Rosey Bell, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Pasadena office of Coldwell Banker Realty, with an award on behalf Coldwell Banker Realty in recognition of her selfless commitment to arranging this special annual BBQ event. In addition, representatives from the Pasadena Police Department and Fire Department also presented Bell with certificates, mugs, pins and coins as a thank you for 20 years of great BBQ.
