ERA American Real Estate celebrated another milestone in community giving this January through its partnership in Operation Santa 2025. In partnership with Families First Network, the company adopted 50 local children from Northwest Florida’s child welfare system, fulfilling personal wish lists for children who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. 

  • Through the collective efforts of ERA American staff, agents, and the company’s designated “ERA American Elf,” more than $6,000 in gifts were donated to ensure each child felt valued during the holiday season.

“There is no greater feeling than turning a child’s holiday wish into a reality,” said Wayne Myshin, who sponsored several children through the program. “I had the privilege of sponsoring several children through Operation Santa this year, and knowing these gifts are headed to homes that need them most has been the highlight of my season.”

The Operation Santa initiative allowed ERA American to serve as “Santa’s elves,” spreading holiday cheer throughout the community by addressing the specific wishes of children in need.

Nance Wendel highlighted the company culture that drives such efforts. 

  • “The ERA American family loves the challenge from our leadership to not only step out to help the community, but to beat our performance last year,” Wendel said. “We can’t help it; we make it happen. The impact on the kids we support is the best reward.”

The company noted its commitment to continuing charitable work in the community where it matters most.
