With the California housing market in a rut, real estate has turned into a competitive market of late — but when four dozen industry teams go head-to-head at the Newport Dunes Resort Friday, they won’t be vying for home sales.
Rather, they’ll be facing off in volleyball, basketball, kayaks and a water bike race, as the seventh annual Challenge for Children seeks to raise funds for the United Way. Proceeds from the event will go toward the nationwide charity’s Success By 6 initiative, which supports healthy development and school readiness for children aged 6 and younger.
The Orange County United Way and Buchanan Street Partners are hosting the competition, which takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the resort. All the corporations sending teams to the event, including Bank of America, Grubb and Ellis and Transwestern, are associates of Buchanan.
