Syosset, NY - July 22nd, 2013 -  Realtor Mara Navaretta of Woodbury, NY and her agency, Homes By Mara Realty of Syosset, NY, recently awarded the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) a $1,000.00 check that was made possible from a percentage of commissions collected between her and participating agents. This is the latest contribution that Navaretta and her agency has made to the nonprofit organization this year and stems from a long-term commitment that the agency made to supporting the organization back in January 2012.

Inspired by personal friend Fred Adlman and his wife, Bonnie, who tragically suffered the loss of their daughter Jill in 1990 due to a brain tumor, Navaratta said she and her agents are delighted to be able to extend their support to assist CBTF in its mission to improve the treatment, quality of life and long term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumors. "I cannot help but be moved by the tremendous courage and perseverance that these children impacted by this diseases and their families demonstrate each and every day," says Navaretta, who has an eight year old daughter of her own. "The programs and advocacy that Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation provide on behalf of these children and their families are so vital, which is why it is with great pride and appreciation that we at Homes By Mara are continuing to support all of its hard work and dedication."

Bonnie Adlman, who has become a children’s brain tumor advocate and an active member of the CBTF Board of Directors since the loss of her daughter, accepted Navaretta’s and her agency’s latest contribution. "Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation is greatly appreciative of the unyielding help and support that we have received from Mara and her team," comments Adlman. "Mara and her team are exemplary of the invaluable role that businesses can play in supporting organizations and their abilities to continue fulfilling their missions. It is our hope that other businesses will follow in Homes By Mara’s footsteps, with more and more getting involved with supporting charitable causes. Mara and her agents have made a strong, unwavering commitment to not only our organization but also the families that we serve and for this we are extremely grateful!"

Since establishing a reserve fund in 2012 in which a portion of commissions are regularly designated to CBTF, Navaretta and her agents have contributed nearly $6,000 to the organization to date, an effort that they plan to continue throughout this year and beyond. In addition to donations, they have also offered further support to the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation through participation in the organization’s various fundraising events.

Founded by dedicated parents, physicians and friends in 1988, Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the treatment, quality of life and the long term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumors through research, support, education, and advocacy to families and survivors.
