Dec. 18. Allen Tate agents and employees raised $84,000 for public education organizations through Tate Cares Operation Education. Total contributions to public education are in excess of $2.4 million.

The traditional FUNday events were not held, but a special fundraising campaign enabled the company to give back.

“Public education challenges are greater than ever as students, teachers and parents are all trying to navigate virtual learning, staggered schedules and safe practices in the classroom,” said Pat Jackson, 2020 Tate Cares Operation Education chair. “Our agents and employees rallied to help in a year when many were personally impacted themselves. I’m incredibly proud of my colleagues.”

Funds raised from the Tate Cares Operation Education campaign will stay in local Allen Tate communities.

They include:

Clover Leaf Foundation, Communities in Schools Charlotte/Mecklenburg, Foundation for Fort Mill Schools, Gaston County Education Foundation, Greater Cleveland County Schools, Indian Land High School, Iredell-Statesville Schools, Kannapolis Education Foundation, Mecklenburg Citizens for Public Education, Mooresville Foundation for Excellence in Education, NC Business Leaders for Education (NC BEST), Rock Hill District 3, Walter Bickett Elementary School
