The Closing - Deeds: Survivors Helping Survivors
By Carla Pineda

More than 400 Orange County holiday revelers enjoyed a casino-themed evening while helping wounded veterans.

Chase Merritt, a real estate investment firm headquartered in Newport Beach, and its Chase Merritt for Charities organization hosted the first Real Estate Survivors' Holiday Bash to benefit Higher Ground with more than $50,000.

The event's sole beneficiary is a program that uses sports and recreation as a means of therapy, healing and rehabilitation for members of the armed forces who have been wounded abroad.

Some of the event's sponsors were Transwestern, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Buchanan Street Partners, Straddling Yocca, Hybrid Air and Core Advisors.
