The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. (“Inland”)
announced today a record-breaking fund-raising walk event in which
over 140 Inland employees participated on behalf of Wellness House,
a local nonprofit offering over 500 programs to help cancer
patients and their loved ones manage their lives as a complement to
medical treatment and at no cost to the patients and their
families.
The event itself drew over 3,100 participants and raised over
$750,000.
“Inland has proudly supported Wellness House for over 30
years, and we want to thank everyone who participated in the walk
to help this wonderful organization,” said Robert H. Baum, Inland’s
Chairman and General Counsel. “As this year’s Presenting Sponsor,
we are delighted to have broken past years’ records in attendance
and contributions, which brings Inland’s cumulative total
contribution to Wellness House over the years in excess of
$2,000,000.”
“The walk, which itself is always a special event, was
particularly meaningful to Inland as we dedicated our sponsorship
this year in honor of the philanthropic legacy of our lead founder,
Daniel L. Goodwin, who unfortunately passed away a few months ago,”
added Baum. “Dan was a prolific philanthropist who believed that
success in business gives rise to the responsibility of doing good
for those in need, especially in the local community.”
