Making the Season Brighter — ERA American’s $6,000 Gift Supporting Local Kids Through Operation Santa

As we kick off 2026, I’m thrilled to share something truly heart-warming that reflects who we are as a company and as neighbors right here in Northwest Florida. ERA American Real Estate proudly donated more than $6,000 in gifts to children in Families First Network’s Operation Santa 2025 — fulfilling wish lists for 50 local kids who’ve experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect.

Through the dedication of our team — from agents to support staff and our cheerful “ERA American Elf” — we came together to ensure every child felt seen, valued, and celebrated during the holiday season. These gifts weren’t just toys or clothes — they were moments of joy and messages of hope during a time that can be hard for so many families.

What makes this effort especially meaningful is the culture behind it — which drives every charitable initiative we take on at ERA American. As I shared with Get The Coast:

“The ERA American family loves the challenge from our leadership to not only step out to help the community, but to beat our performance last year,”
Wendel said. “We can’t help it; we make it happen. The impact on the kids we support is the best reward.”

I couldn’t be prouder of our team for showing up with big hearts and contagious enthusiasm. As a Northwest Florida real estate professional, I believe strong communities create strong homes. Moments like this remind me that success isn’t just measured in sales and closings — it’s measured in tangible ways we give back to the community that gives us so much.

We’re committed to continuing this journey of support, connection, and impact — and we invite others in our community to join us in spreading kindness, not just during the holidays, but all year long.
