Roxbury, MA City Realty Group (CRG), a community-focused real estate company serving the Greater Boston area since 2004, has donated $5,000 to The BASE. The BASE is a Roxbury-based non-profit urban academy that combines sports and educational opportunities to help re-imagine pathways to success for urban youth. This donation is part of Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is a worldwide generosity initiative that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities around them. Since being created in 2013, The BASE has served over 8,000 boys and girls on more than 600 teams, competing locally, nationally, and internationally, from Massachusetts, Florida, Virginia, Indiana, Nevada, and Chicago to Japan and the Dominican Republic. To date, over 200 BASE student-athletes have matriculated to college, career training, or the workforce.

“We are happy to be committed and willing to be out front in support of our young people and our community with this donation to The BASE,” said City Realty Group managing partner Stephen Whalen. “Giving Tuesday is centered on global generosity and transforming communities through giving and what better way to support that than providing for an organization that does just that in transforming the community around them.”
