VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Majestic Realty Co. employees giving back to our communities

JEAN FREDERICK – Seventy-three low-income students from Henderson, Nevada received new backpacks, school supplies and complete outfits for the first day of school, thanks to quick action on the part of an employee in Majestic Realty Co.’s Las Vegas office.  Jean Frederick, a member of the Majestic Realty Foundation’s Las Vegas Area Planning Team, received an emergency request from Henderson Allied Community Advocates (HACA), a program that assists local families in need. HACA needed extra funding to help the overwhelming number of children who registered for its annual back-to-school assistance program. 

“These families struggle to make ends meet,” Frederick says. “They work hard just to pay rent and utilities, and they cannot afford back-to-school items for their children.”  So as  soon as the emergency appeal came in, Frederick hit the phones, turning to her always-generous co-workers.  Within hours, many Majestic employees had agreed to donate personal checks for $200, which would then be matched two-for-one by the Majestic Realty Foundation’s employee matching program.

Thanks to Jean’s quick thinking and action, Majestic provided forty-eight children with backpacks, school supplies and a complete outfit, including shoes, socks and underwear, for the new school year. Combined with an additional $2,500 grant, in total seventy-three children received their supplies for the first day of school.
