Tampa Bay Area Benefits When Corporations Give Back to the Community

Clearwater; Tampa, FL (PRWEB) September 10, 2005

This week the Bay area’s Make-A-Wish-Foundation will be receiving a donation check from Ceebraid-Signal Corporation. According to Janet Valles, Public Relations Manager of the Sarasota/Tampa Bay chapter of the well-respected national non-profit organization, this is the third check received from Ceebraid accounting for a gift totaling more than $45,000.

Ceebraid, the developer of several condominium communities in the Tampa Bay area, regularly donates a percentage from the sale of their condominiums to organizations that positively impact the local community.

“We take the concept of corporate responsibility seriously and think it deserves more than lip service,” says Adam Schlesinger, president of Ceebraid. “For Audubon Condominium at Feather Sound we chose to align with the Make-A-Wish-Foundation because they do such a remarkable job in making wishes come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions.”

Having recently closed on the last of Audubon’s 293 condominium residences, Ceebraid is now ready to issue its final check to Valles. “We are delighted to receive this generous contribution from Ceebraid,” says Valles. “With this money we will be able to make 10 wishes come true for deserving children. We know Ceebraid has donated to Make-A-Wish in other parts of the state and are so appreciative of all they are doing to help share the power of a wish.”

Ceebraid is making an additional large donation on behalf of BEACHWALK, another of their amenity-rich condominium communities. This one looks out on the wetlands of Old Tampa Bay.

“We want BEACHWALK to be a positive asset to the neighborhood in which it’s located,” adds Schlesinger, “as well as to the Bay area community at large. For that reason with BEACHWALK we’ve chosen to make our donation to Tampa Bay Watch, a wonderful environmental group dedicated to providing habitat restoration and protection activities on behalf of Tampa Bay.”

Based on the sales of BEACHWALK residences, Ceebraid’s donation to Tampa Bay Watch will also reach over $45,000.

Peter Clark, Executive Director for the non-profit group says, “The concept of enhancing environmental awareness as a part of BEACHWALK’s condominium project is commendable. I am particularly pleased that the boardwalk they’re building out to the bay is being routed to avoid impacting mangroves, while eliminating invasive species in the process.”

More than 95% sold out, BEACHWALK has just released its final two-bedroom residences featuring the community’s best water views. Ranging up to 1,298 square feet, these choice condominiums are priced from the low $300,000s. When all 292 residences have closed, Tampa Bay Watch will be receiving its donation check from Ceebraid.

“We know that the people choosing to buy at BEACHWALK not only appreciate our exceptional location, clubhouse and amenities, they also care about preserving the environmental integrity of the community,” adds Schlesinger. “By contributing to Tampa Bay Watch we’re playing a part in protecting and preserving the fragile nature of the environment that surrounds us.”

Buyers interested in visiting BEACHWALK will find the Sales Center at 5831 Memorial Highway in Tampa. It is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 12 Noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Call 813 884-7755 or visit http://www. Beachwalkcondos.net for more information.
