ERA Real Estate has always been committed to improving the communities within which we live and work. For over a decade, Bill Hurt, CEO of ERA Shields Real Estate, has embodied ERA’s charitable spirit through his dedicated work to improve the Colorado Springs area. Some of the charities Bill and his company support include:
CASA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating safe environments for abused and neglected children. Since the mid–1990s, Bill has worked to promote the CASA mission through his involvement with the Light of Hope Fundraiser and through the connections he has made with the children and volunteers involved with the organization. His involvement has inspired other ERA Shields professionals to support the cause, which has helped ensure that the organization will be able to continue to help children-in-need for many years to come.
For two terms, Bill has served on the Board of Directors for Southern and Western Colorado’s chapter of Goodwill, an organization dedicated to changing the lives of in-need individuals and families by eliminating barriers to opportunities and helping them become independent. One of his most notable contributions has been his work with the Passages program, which provides support services to help autistic adults learn to be self-sufficient.
Muscular Dystrophy Association
For the past nine years, Bill Hurt and ERA Shields have helped fight muscular dystrophy in the greater Colorado Springs area through a variety of initiatives. One of the most impactful has been their yearly fundraiser, which raises money specifically to send children with neuromuscular diseases to a local MDA camp. The company sponsors a prom at this local MDA camp as well, and each year Bill and his peers make the four-hour round trip drive to help set up, decorate and get the campers ready for the event.
