NAIOP Winter Classic Events Recap

Submitted by James Mansfield and Murray Platt, Winter Classic Hockey Co-Chairs

On behalf of NAIOP, we would like to personally thank each of you for being a part of this year’s 8th Annual NAIOP Winter Classic, Majestic Realty Cup. This commercial real estate hockey showcase continues to grow in participation, thanks to your support and generosity for a great cause.

  

This year’s sold-out event featured 140 players on eight teams, sponsored by the industry’s best; Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors, CoStar, Cushman & Wakefield, First Citizen’s Bank, JLL, CBRE, and Wells Concrete, raised nearly $20,000 for the Children’s Hospital, Pediatric Cancer Research and Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation. Since inception, your participation and generosity has raised $200,000.

Special recognition and thanks to Children’s Hospital Ambassador, Abbie Hoffman, whose courageous battle inspired us all.

We couldn’t have done it without our event sponsors; CoStar, DSP Builders, Wells Concrete, Basements & Beyond, Galloway Engineering, Premier Community Homes, Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation, and of course, NAIOP’s Jayma, Kathie, Karyn and Bekah.
