## Story

Charlene Blanton, the owner of Caring Transitions in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was honored with the Caring for a Cause Award at the franchise's Annual National Conference in New Orleans. This award recognizes franchisees who demonstrate a philanthropic mindset and actively contribute to their communities.

“The Caring for a Cause Award is about investing in our local community at the grassroots level and being servant leaders,” Blanton said. “When you invest in your community and show them that they matter, what happens is they turn around and invest in you. It’s a beautiful, symbiotic relationship of serving each other, which in turn helps us serve families in the community who are facing life’s difficult transitions.”

Blanton’s team at Caring Transitions of Myrtle Beach donates items collected through their work to local organizations in need, such as medical supplies for senior living communities and pet care items for animal shelters. They also support events like the Coastal Charitable Classic golf tournament and the Hank Parker Invitational Shoot, raising funds for local organizations like Coastal School Ministries and Meals on Wheels. Additionally, their “Be a Santa to a Senior” initiative during Christmas exemplifies their commitment to supporting seniors by fulfilling their holiday wish lists.

As the largest provider of senior-relocation services in the U.S., Caring Transitions continues to grow in the $832.8 billion industry by offering comprehensive assistance to seniors transitioning to new living arrangements and managing estate sales through its CTBids platform. The recent launch of the CTBids mobile app has further streamlined the estate sale process for clients.
