"With so many community service projects, it's hard to imagine that Leonard Leonard & Associates still finds time to sell properties, and yet the residential real estate firm was ranked third in production at the 2002 Denver Board of Realtors Round Table Awards, posting $32 million in sales last year."

"...Last October, Leonard Leonard took over the annual Dora Moore house tour, raising $18,000 for the school. 'That pays for both the art teacher and music teacher at Dora Moore,'...

"Sonja also was the 2001 recipient of the Clara Barton Society, an annual award given to the highest local contributors to the International Red Cross. 'All my money goes to Africa, that's my only stipulation' said Sonja, who donated about $10,000 last year...

"Two years ago, Sonja and Lee Lee went on a humanitarian aid trip to Havana, Cuba, taking with them $14,000 in medical and school supplies that they had collected in Denver. 'The people are so very intelligent, and yet they have nothing,' said Sonja...

"In 1997, when Sonja's longtime friend and neighbor Marilyn Massey willed her North Country Club home to the Salvation Army, Leonard Leonard offered to sell the house commission-free. Organizing a silent auction, they ended up selling the home for $242,000, saving the Salvation Army $17,000 in commission fees. 'It was really phenomenal, a huge success,' Sonja said. 'It was a win-win situation for everyone.'...

"Still looking to do more, Sonja is in the process of developing a program where a certain percentage of every home sale commission goes towards housing in a Third World country...

"Other annual events include an Easter egg hunt, pumpkin patch and coat drive for local underprivileged children. "We don't do anything fancy, I want to stay simple and plain,' Sonja said. "We're all family here.'"
