The Community Benefit Program was announced in 2016 focusing on Danberry efforts volunteering in our community. The Danberry Co, Realtors; it’s Management Team, Agents and Staff, have collectively contributed more than 36,258 hours of community service to over 400 organizations, churches and schools in and around Toledo throughout the past eight years as part of our Community Benefits Program.
The Danberry Community Benefits Program is designed to increase and enhance the efforts by Danberry Family Members in giving back to the community by focusing attention on individual efforts and rewarding a select few of them on an annual basis.
Danberry agents and staff who donate at least 4 hours of their time during the current qualifying period (January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025) are encouraged to submit his/her hours for recognition. Additionally the top 3 volunteers will receive cash awards ($1,000, $500 and $250) that will be donated to a charity or activity of the recipient's choice. Our collective goal is to donate 25,000 hours during the 12 month qualifying period. Award winners will be announced at the Annual Business Meeting February of 2026.
“Most volunteers give of their time not for recognition but to help others. WE recognize that BUT we believe that by sharing our efforts, we can serve as a positive example to others which will result in motivating them to also volunteer.” Says Danberry's, Lynn Fruth.
“At Danberry we firmly believe that we can best live our mission with strong leadership guiding the company and instilling from the top down the importance of serving others,” commented Danberry's, Lynn Fruth.
Giving back to the community is vital to our company’s mission. We have several fundraising events throughout the year including the Danberry Golf Outing and the Danberry Treasure Chest. It is important to Danberry that our agents become involved in local organizations that are near and dear to their hearts. It is the reason we started the Danberry Annual Community Benefit Event nine years ago.
