The real estate industry in Colorado continues to show how powerful community collaboration can be. This year’s Dodge for a Cause real estate charity tournament, held in Littleton, Colorado, was a perfect example of professionals coming together to support a great cause. The event brought real estate agents, lenders, and local businesses together in a high-energy, fast-paced afternoon that blended friendly competition with impactful giving.


With six-person teams, bracket-style matches, and prizes for both performance and creativity, the event was more than a typical networking opportunity. Dodge for a Cause offered a meaningful way for those in the real estate community to give back—while building relationships that go beyond the transaction.

Real estate community raises $2,400 for local nonprofit

One of the most powerful outcomes from this event was the donation of $2,400 to a local Colorado nonprofit. The winning team, Mile High Lifestyles, not only took home the tournament trophy but also earned the honor of choosing where the funds would go. They selected Wild Animal Sanctuary, a respected organization that rescues and provides long-term care for large carnivores and other displaced wildlife.


This annual event gives participants a direct role in charitable giving. By allowing the winners to designate the beneficiary, it ensures the funds raised go to a cause the community truly supports. In this case, it was a strong reminder of how real estate professionals can make a real impact in their region—extending their service beyond buyers, sellers, and closings.


More than a real estate networking event—building lasting connections

What sets Dodge for a Cause apart from traditional real estate events in Denver and Littleton is the level of engagement and connection it fosters. Rather than gathering around conference tables or happy hour drinks, participants arrived ready to move, compete, and collaborate. Teams came dressed in matching uniforms or playful costumes, reflecting not just creativity but also strong team spirit.


Throughout the afternoon, the gym was filled with laughter, competition, and mutual encouragement. Whether teams won or were knocked out early, everyone stuck around to cheer on their peers, connect with colleagues, and enjoy the shared sense of purpose.


For many attendees, the event served as a refreshing change of pace. While business cards were exchanged and conversations about the housing market flowed naturally, the emphasis was on relationships and community over sales and transactions.


Shoutouts to those who made the event possible

This event would not have been what it was without the behind-the-scenes efforts of several contributors. A major thank you goes to Rocket Lister, the media team that captured footage throughout the day and created a video recap to share with the wider community. Their work ensures that the excitement and purpose of the event lives beyond the day itself.


Gratitude also goes to Gavin Ekstrom and Cross Country Mortgage, whose partnership helped bring the event to life. From logistics to promotion, their support played a key role in making Dodge for a Cause 2025 a success.

Real estate pros across Colorado came together for Dodge for a Cause 2025, raising $2,400 for local charity while building lasting connections through competition, creativity, and community.

Real estate professionals in Colorado continue to make an impact

The Colorado real estate market is competitive, fast-paced, and constantly evolving. Events like Dodge for a Cause offer a meaningful pause—an opportunity to engage with colleagues and clients in a way that centers around shared values. As home prices fluctuate, buyer demands shift, and technology reshapes marketing strategies, one thing remains clear: community involvement in real estate continues to be essential.


Charity events, especially those that invite active participation and give back directly to local causes, demonstrate that real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and service partners are not just working for commissions—they’re working to build strong, connected communities.


Looking ahead to next year

The success of this year’s Dodge for a Cause sets the stage for even bigger things in the future. As participation grows and new professionals join the ranks, the event is becoming an annual tradition many in the Denver and Littleton real estate scenes look forward to.


Whether you’re a veteran agent, a new lender in town, or someone simply looking to support a good cause while having fun, this event is one to watch for next year.

Stay tuned for updates on future real estate charity events, market updates, and community spotlights throughout the Denver metro and surrounding areas.


Together, the real estate industry can continue to lead with generosity, connection, and purpose.
