Each year, when we host the Battle of the Bartenders Fundraisers held throughout the Berkshires, we make sure the three charities have a local impact.  For REALTORS who live/work or have experience in North County, please send your vote on the charity of choice for this fundraiser!  Below are some non-profit examples, or nominate your own.  We don’t sponsor the same organization twice in a row, so we took Louison House off for this year. Send your thoughts!
