WASHINGTON, DC – Today, SWBC Mortgage Corporation,
headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, made a sizable donation to the MBA Opens
Doors Foundation in Washington, DC. Opens Doors is a non-profit organization
run by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and dedicated to providing
assistance to families with a critically ill or injured child by making their
mortgage or rent payment.
“Opens Doors has an important mission, and we were honored
to make a serious contribution to that mission,” said Susan Stewart, CEO of SWBC Mortgage.
“When a family has to care for
a child in a critical medical condition, they should be able to do so without
fear that they will lose their home.”
SWBC Mortgage Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
SWBC, a diversified financial services company providing a wide range of
insurance, mortgage, and investment services to financial institutions,
businesses, and individuals.
“On behalf of everyone working with the MBA Opens Doors
Foundation, I want to thank Susan Stewart and the entire SWBC Mortgage team for
this generous donation,” said Debra
Still, Chairman of the MBA Opens Doors Foundation and President & CEO
of PulteMortgage.
“Every penny of this significant contribution will go
towards keeping families in their homes during one of the worst personal crises
anyone can imagine and allow those families to focus one hundred percent of
their energy on getting their child healthy again.”

For most families, the fear of losing a home is second only
to the sense of panic that comes with the need to care for a loved one who is
suffering from a major illness – especially if they are a child.
The MBA Opens
Doors Foundation was developed as an industry association model for utilizing
both expertise and resources to help individuals and families facing housing
challenges associated with the significant cost of care for a seriously ill
child.
Opens Doors is currently able to pass 100 percent of the
donations it receives on to families in need of assistance. The Foundation’s
ongoing relationship with Washington, D.C.’s Children’s National Medical Center
provides a partner organization to help identify potential grant recipients.
The MBA Opens Doors Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization
and all contributions are tax deductable. For more information about the
Foundation or to make a donation, please go to www.mbaopensdoors.org.
