KW Cares raises over $3,200 for Alexandra Burkhart

On September 26, 2010 Jonathan and Kelley Burkhart welcomed their baby girl, Alexandra Elizabeth Von Loht Burkhart, to the world. Shortly after Alexandra’s birth doctors realized she had Pierre Robin Syndrome, a rare condition in which an infant has a smaller than normal lower jaw, a tongue that falls back in the throat, and difficulty breathing. Her condition required immediate surgery. As a result, Alexandra became the first infant at Poudre Valley Hospital to undergo plastic surgery, allowing Jonathan and Kelley to be with Alexandra in the hospital without having to travel to Denver.

The surgery was a great success and Jonathan and Kelley now have their baby girl at home. They also have a considerable amount of medical expenses to face. This is where agents at Keller Williams Realty of Northern Colorado saw their call to action. Established in 2003, KW Cares is a 501(c)(3) public charity that raises money through Keller Williams offices across North America, in order to provide emergency financial assistance to any member of the KW family in need and other charities aligned with the mission and values of Keller Williams Realty and KW Cares. Kelley Burkhart, mother to Alexandra, is a beloved Office Administrator at Keller Williams Realty of Northern Colorado and agents quickly organized a KW Cares Chili Cookoff to benefit baby Alexandra. At the cookoff over $3,200 in funds were raised to assist the Burkhart family. JoAnn Johnston, Operating Principal, said “I’m so proud of all of the agents for their generosity and giving hearts. This was an awesome event!”
