Shelley Hoffman hosts "CNY Community Connections" with guest Don Grovine, a fellow real estate professional, to discuss community involvement, specifically focusing on the B’Ville Big Chill event and its impact on the community.

The B’Ville Big Chill isa major fundraising event organized by the Greater Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce. Despite initial reluctance, Don participates annually, motivated by the opportunity to give back to the community. The event is a significant fundraiser for the Chamber, which relies on such events for financial support.

Don discusses the connection between real estate professionals and community involvement, noting that giving back is an integral part of their work. He cites his company's ethos, "We're not in a business selling houses. We're in a people business," as a guiding principle for engaging with the community.
