Coldwell Banker Realty Cares, the real estate company's charitable foundation in Florida, recently honored former company president Clark Toole with a $25,000 donation to the charity of his choice as a legacy gift upon his retirement at the end of 2020. Toole matched the donation through Coldwell Banker Realty Cares and helped to present the $50,000 contribution to Visible Men Academy on Aug. 25.

The gift will help fund VMA’s literacy program, which is being named the Coldwell Banker Cares/Clark Toole Literacy Program. It provides a rich curriculum with resources that are knowledge-based, teach robust vocabulary, fluency and comprehension skills, and build the background knowledge of its students.
