Coach agents support environment, St. Patrick’s Parade and St. Baldrick’s
On March 24, sales associates of Coach Realtors’ Rockville Centre branch office helped Mother Earth while marching in the annual Rockville Centre St. Patrick’s Parade and donated more than $500 to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
In keeping with the celebration of all things green, the agents distributed more than 1,000 reusable grocery tote bags to parade goers.
It has been estimated that one reusable tote can eliminate the need for 268 plastic bags each year.
