ERA Justin Realty Sponsors 2016 Girls Little League Softball

ERA Justin Realty Sponsors 2016 Girls Little League Softball
 
Flashback to spring 2011, ERA Justin Realty was approached by Rutherford Recreation to be a sponsor of a Rutherford Little League girls softball team. Without hesitation the answer was a resounding yes, never realizing that that team would be honored as the champs for that season. 
 
Ron Darby ERA Justin Co. broker co-owner said, “Girls softball was long overdue as there had never been girls Little League in Rutherford. This was to be the start of something wonderful for our town. And at the end of the first season it was proven to be a big success with many wonderful girls Little League teams sponsored by many of our outstanding area business leaders. Girls Little League was on its way, teams were formed, the excitement began each season with a parade through Rutherford leading to Memorial Field for their first games and in a blink now several seasons later, great success for many girls teams.”
 
Team manager Lazz Degenaro added, “We are all very proud of how well the girls play and their show of true team effort throughout the seasons, while having fun. We are anticipating a great and fun 2016 this season also."
 
Darby concluded, “At ERA Justin Realty the words, ‘There is a difference in real estate companies’ is more than a phrase. We believe strongly in community and our sponsorship of our teams each year is exceptionally rewarding. Because of our support of community activities and our charitable contributions we proudly received several prestigious ERA global community awards.
 
Readers who would like to add their congratulations to any of the girls teams can direct them to ERA Justin Realty at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue.  By office phone (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD, who will pass your congratulations forward.
