Hans Brings Supports YMCA's Children Charity
Local Realtor demonstrates new giving trend, donates to Waltham YMCA
Hans Brings, broker and premier associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, cares about the local community and children and families in need – he also does something about it every day he goes to work.
“Hans is a new kind of philanthropist that blends his passion for helping others with his career,” said Jack Fucci, executive director of the Waltham YMCA. “He is committed to helping young families and professionals reach their dreams of homeownership, while at the same time, keeping those less fortunate on his mind as he is doing so.”
For every house sold by Brings, a donation is made to the “Hans Brings Results for Children’s Charities Fund.”
Then throughout the year, donations are distributed from that fund to charitable causes within the community, including the Waltham YMCA’s Annual Fund campaign.
“I am meeting with more philanthropic companies and individual donors who become involved and committed to the causes that are important to them every day, rather than only thinking about them once a year when they give a gift,” Fucci said. “Waltham is as vibrant a business community as it is a great place to live. Many charitable companies have come up with ways to donate their time, talent or treasure. This approach is not only beneficial to charitable causes like the Y, but also helps their employees connect to the community where they spend an enormous amount of time each week.
“We have board and committee members join our board. In addition, we receive gifts from companies that match their employee giving, been chosen their charity of choice, and have held employee volunteer service days. These local businesses, both large and small, when they get involved, make a real difference.”
The Waltham YMCA Annual Fund campaign is currently underway. The donations made to the fund enable the Y to provide scholarships to more than 600 local families and children in need to participate in summer camp, swim lessons, after school programs, teen programs, chronic disease prevention programs and Y membership, according to the organization.
For more information or to donate, contact Fucci at 781-966-3620 or email jfucci@ymcaboston.org.

Brings says, “Charity is an important part of my life and the holidays serve as a reminder that there are so many families in need. I started my foundation as a solution to stay involved with an ongoing list of children’s charities throughout the year. It started with a personal donation and I will continue to contribute to the fund for every home I sell. If my clients choose to contribute, I will match their donations dollar for dollar as well.”
The Hans Brings Results for Children’s Charities Fund recently donated $1,200 to the Stanley School Snowflake fund. The Snowflake fund is a charity effort sponsored annually by the William F. Stanley Elementary School Parents and Teachers Organization to provide holiday gifts to families in need at the Stanley School. The program has been conducted at the Stanley School since it opened in 2001, and at the Banks School before that.
Each year, Stanley School families in need are identified with the help of the School Adjustment Counselor. Families provide wish lists for items the students need or want. The lists include items such as clothing, winter outerwear, pajamas, shoes/boots and toys. Snowflake tags are created that list the item requested along with the gender and age of the child, and sizes for clothing/footwear as appropriate. Families and staff from the school take the Snowflakes, purchase the item, and drop it off at the school wrapped with the snowflake attached. Families remain completely anonymous to all but our School Adjustment Counselor.

He graduated Cum Laude from Bentley College and was awarded the title Vice President by Coldwell Banker for his sales achievements since 1996.
