COMMUNITY

WASHINGTON, DC In May 2016, Cushman & Wakefield’s Washington, DC office sponsored the 19th Annual Race for Hope - 5K Walk/Run at Freedom Plaza. The Race for Hope supports brain tumor research. Cushman & Wakefield became its title sponsor in 2000 after Pat Cassidy, Co- Founder of a Cushman & Wakefield legacy company, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Before Pat succumbed to the disease, he took great pride in knowing that his company had assumed a leadership role in helping to raise funds for research. The Race for Hope has grown to be the largest fundraiser for brain tumor research in the country, raising a total of $25 million in its history. The event aligns with our core value of giving back to the community and has become an annual event for the DC team to rally around. The DC team went on to raise over $136,000. As the lead sponsor for this event for many years, Cushman & Wakefield has consistently provided the largest team and placed first in the fundraising effort almost every year. MEXICO During the second half of 2016, Mexico started a Social Services group supporting various activities related to CSR. During December 2016, Mexico remodeled its headquarters and donated furniture and building materials to Industrias de Buena Voluntad I.A.P., Fundación Hombre Naturaleza y Fundación Educa. • Industrias de Buena Voluntad is a foundation that creates training centers for the benefit of people with physical and/or mental disabilities who also have limited economic resources. The intention is to teach them positive work habits, help them to obtain productive jobs, and thus to seek their integration into the labor force by improving their subsistence and development conditions. • Hombre Naturaleza Fundation is a non-profit association founded in 2000 as a synergy of values and proactive attitudes towards life and its conservation. Its mission is to contribute to the conservation of nature through social participation and promote a culture and ethics of conservation of the environment at the international level. • Educa México Fundation was created in 1995 by a group of young people to benefit the education of the poor. Its mission is to consolidate educational communities through the design, incubation, implementation, and evaluation of innovative projects that promote educational quality. “The process was a success, and we continue to support these types of causes for the benefit of society in different cities of Mexico and the Caribbean,” said Ana Reyes, Social Services Leader, Mexico City.
