Tinamarie Reamy’s Dedication to Supporting Those in Need

At Coldwell Banker Chesapeake, we take great pride in not only serving our clients but also being deeply involved in the communities we call home. Recently, Tinamarie Reamy, Vice President of Sales and Manager of our Chesapeake City Office, exemplified the spirit of community leadership and compassion through her contributions to a heartfelt local fundraiser.

On December 13th, the Hack’s Point Firehouse was filled with love, generosity, and unity during a fundraiser for Johnny Upp, a beloved member of the Cecilton Volunteer Fire Company. Mr. Upp tragically lost his home and all of his personal belongings in a devastating house fire on November 4th, which also left him with injuries. This loss included a cherished American flag that had been presented to his family during his military service in 2016. In true Eastern Shore fashion, the community rallied together to support one of their own.

A Unified Community Effort

Among the numerous sponsors and contributors, Tinamarie and her husband, Jason Reamy, were at the forefront with an amazing group of community members Lori Cichocki -Leonardi, Kelly Frey and Monica Penhollow who made this event possible . Jason is not only a dedicated real estate agent but also a decorated Maryland State Trooper and an active member of the Cecilton Volunteer Fire Company since 2000. His leadership and commitment to service extend beyond his professional life—Jason has held the position of Fire Chief for the Cecilton Volunteer Fire Company from 2020 to 2024.

Their involvement, alongside many local businesses and individuals, was a shining example of the power of community. Tinamarie’s tireless efforts and Jason’s dedication to both real estate and public service helped make this fundraiser a success and highlighted their unwavering commitment to those in need.

A Powerful Moment of Unity

The evening was further marked by an emotional and powerful moment. Marsha, the new owner of the North East Flag Shop, stepped up in an extraordinary way. She donated a beautifully prepared American flag and display case to replace Mr. Upp’s lost flag. With guidance from the North East VFW Post 6027, the flag was starched, folded with military precision, and presented to Mr. Upp alongside a copy of his 2016 obituary. The presentation left not a single dry eye in the room.

A Message of Gratitude

“In times of tragedy, it’s inspiring to see everyone come together so selflessly to lift up those in need. This moment is a beautiful reminder that, no matter how tough things get, we can always find strength in one another. Together, we’re stronger, and together, we can make a difference.”

A Special Thanks

The event would not have been possible without the efforts of the Hack’s Point Fire Department, which graciously hosted the fundraiser and supported every detail. Sponsors from all corners of the community, including individuals, small businesses, and organizations, came together to lend their support. Tinamarie and Jason Reamy joined this incredible group of contributors, helping to ensure that Mr. Upp and his family received the assistance and love they so deserved.

Community at Its Core

Tinamarie Reamy’s involvement in events like this reflects her deep-rooted dedication to the community. As a leader at Coldwell Banker Chesapeake, she sets an example for us all to give back, support others, and foster connections that make a lasting impact. Jason Reamy’s service as a Maryland State Trooper and Fire Chief further underscores their shared commitment to helping those around them. Their contributions extend far beyond real estate—they are advocates, supporters, and neighbors who truly care.

To Tinamarie, Jason, and all who came together to support Mr. Upp: Thank you for reminding us of the extraordinary strength that comes from unity, kindness, and compassion.
