JOH hosted its eighth annual Kids 360 charity event on Oct. 5. Kids 360 is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization created by JOH that takes a 360-degree approach to a child’s life. Monies raised from the event go directly to children’s charities that provide clothing, food, medical support, school supplies and more to children in need.
To date, Kids 360 has donated more than $450,000.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, JOH took precautions to ensure its guests’ safety while also maintaining the integrity of its annual event. A group of 100 clients, customers and JOH’ers joined together for a socially-distanced day on the fairway at Woodland Golf Club in Auburndale, Massachusetts, which was followed by a small, al fresco reception at The Federal in Waltham.
“We are very proud of how much we are able to give back in support of so many wonderful charities,” said John Saidnawey, chairman and CEO of JOH. “Even in the face of unprecedented challenges, our community succeeded in coming together safely with the goal of helping children. I’ve said before that each year’s event is better than the last, and this was no exception.”
Harry O’Hare, JOH’s founder, took pride in giving back to the community and spent a lifetime helping those less fortunate. Chip O’Hare, John Saidnawey and Matt O’Hare continued the vision of giving back with the creation of the Kids 360 charity.
“It’s a huge honor to carry on the torch of philanthropy at JOH,” said Matt O’Hare, president and COO. “We are grateful to be in an industry with such devoted, kind people. Thank you to everyone who continues to support our events.”
JOH was founded in 1956 by Harry O’Hare, Sr. and is now a regional broker with 17 offices and strategic partnerships across the United States. JOH currently has more than 500 employees and represents more than 400 clients.
