Pagoda Realty ERA Powered’s Legacy of Love contributed a combined $15,400 to two charitable organizations, thanks to the generosity of participants in its fifth annual golf tournament and annual mum drive.
The golf tournament, held Sept. 26 at Manor Golf Club, raised $14,000 for Safe Berks. Approximately 120 people showed up to support the cause, demonstrating a commitment to their community even in unfavorable weather conditions.
Safe Berks provides essential support to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their families. Its free, confidential services include emergency shelter, counseling, legal services, medical advocacy, and around-the-clock crisis support. Through education and community outreach, the organization also works to prevent abuse and build a safer Berks County.

Continuing that spirit of giving, Pagoda Realty’s Legacy of Love annual mum drive, held Oct. 5, raised $1,400 for Laney’s Legacy of Hope in memory of Riley Rejniak. The fundraiser brought the community together to honor Riley’s memory through an act of kindness, turning the purchase of fall flowers into a meaningful contribution.
The mum drive also brought an unexpected and touching discovery: a praying mantis egg sac nestled among the mums. Riley loved praying mantises, making the discovery especially meaningful to those honoring his memory. It offered a heartfelt reminder of Riley and the lasting connection his memory continues to inspire.
Together, these events reflect the purpose behind Legacy of Love: bringing people together to care for their neighbors, honor meaningful legacies, and support organizations making a difference.
Pagoda Realty ERA Powered, based in West Lawn, extends heartfelt thanks to every golfer, sponsor, donor, volunteer, agent, and mum drive participant whose generosity made these contributions possible. Whether purchasing mums, supporting the tournament, donating resources, or giving their time, each participant helped turn community compassion into action.
For Pagoda Realty ERA Powered, serving the community extends beyond real estate. These contributions represent a shared commitment to the people and organizations that help make Berks County a place of safety, connection, and hope.
