My husband, Jason and I were first-time attendees at the Operation Walk Los Angeles Annual Gala this past October. We were invited by my father Bruce Brereton and his wife Joan. My father has had two knee replacements, so we know how much surgery can change someone’s life.
It was a treasure to learn more about the miracles the team and organization are doing. It touched our hearts and made a great impact.
My husband and I own a local residential real estate company, The Berns Team. Eight years ago, inspired by the local good we experienced, we started a nonprofit that financially supports other nonprofits in their missions.
We were so moved by your goal to restore mobility that we invited Operation Walk to apply for a grant. It was last minute, but your team came together in just three days and got the votes needed to get one of our top five grants of the year!
In November during our Annual Berns Team Fall Festival, we had the pleasure of announcing the top recipient of this year’s Berns Team 100th Family Helped voting results and out of the 84 nonprofits eligible cared for by the Berns Team friends, family, and clients, Operation Walk received $7,000!
It was truly a pleasure to attend your event, learn more about your organization, and have the opportunity to support your organization.
