place to stay for urban youth in both the U.S. and Canada. Dedicated individuals
slept out on the cold, snowy sidewalks of New York City and Vancouver, raising
critical funds and awareness. This is the second year the New York City office has
participated, raising a total of almost $10,000 cumulatively along with their
Canadian counterparts.
Habitat for Humanity
More than 10 Cushman & Wakefield professionals volunteered for the San Diego

including one wounded veteran and his family. The townhomes were even
designed with energy efficiency and water conservation in mind!

Felicidade Project
More than 50 Cushman & Wakefield employees shared a Felicidade (Happiness)
breakfast in support of the Felicidade Project, which hosts 15 children undergoing
cancer treatments (and their parents) each week for a five-day stay. The
breakfast was organized by members of Cushman & Wakefield Brazil’s Social
Action Committee, who proposed the event to both support the Felicidade
Project as well as educate Cushman & Wakefield professionals about the situation
of the young patients. More than 5,000 items were collected, a true testament to
the goodwill of Cushman & Wakefield’s professionals.

UK. Cushman & Wakefield UK employees participated in the TowerAthlon and
