Christmas is about giving, not receiving! Holidays are a time for sharing and caring. One-hundred children from low-income homes were surprised with new bicycles during a very special event on Christmas Eve. Cold temperatures were not enough to keep children from picking out their gifts in a 21-year-tradition in which Realtor Rob Thomson, of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities, of Jupiter, has played Santa.

Managing Partner Rob Thomson of Waterfront Properties & Club Communities and Waterfront Yacht Brokerage founded the Waterfront Way Foundation to bring Thomson’s personal and corporate philanthropic initiatives together under one roof. Waterfront Way Foundation’s core mission is to help increasingly more people in our community experience

Wishing you and yours "Happy Holidays" from the family of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities!
