PHILADELPHIA, PA— The Philadelphia chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women, known as CREW Philadelphia, is making a major philanthropic commitment to practical education in real estate. CREW held its annual charity fundraising luncheon recently at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel and raised about 14 thousand dollars that will be used for scholarships and other support at YouthBuild Philadelphia.

“We are a school that really empowers young people who had previously left school to come back and reclaim their education and reclaim their futures,” says Ted Malloy, individual giving coordinator, YouthBuild Philadelphia. Malloy says the funding from CREW will help the school expose students to a broader range of commercial real estate career options.
