Keller Williams Puget Sound realtors in Federal Way are seeking recipients for its fifth annual charity auction.

Families, individuals or organizations in need are encouraged to submit nominations to Keller Williams by emailing KWAuction2015@gmail.com. The submission deadline is July 7.

Last year, the business raised $56,000 for an 8-year-old quadriplegic girl in need of a wheelchair accessible van to get to her medical appointments and school. McKenzie Harris was paralyzed in a head-on collision near her family’s Eatonville home.

This year, the company hopes to help a Federal Way organization or family, said Tricia Ackerman, a broker at Keller Williams. They also hope to raise six figures, she said. Those funds may go entirely to one family or organization, or Keller Williams employees may decide to divide the proceeds from their auction amongst several entities, depending on the nominations they receive, Ackerman said.

Nominations should include the recipients name, a brief introduction and what their need is.
