CAN YOU HELP?  We need to build the 2021 Scholarship Fund!

2020 has pretty much-redefined business as usual throughout our country. We’ve all been learning to adjust, shift, and be flexible in our business practices and our lives in general. This year we had to cancel our annual banquet due to the restrictions in place, which meant sacrificing our celebration of the year together. Despite the challenges, our REALTORS® have continued to serve their clients and succeed in so many ways! Congratulations to all of you for showing the integrity and determination needed under challenging circumstances.

While our banquet is a celebration, it also serves as our primary fundraiser for community outreach for the coming year. We customarily have a silent auction and a dessert auction to support our scholarship and outreach funds. This year our outreach fund is in pretty good standing, but we need to recharge the scholarship fund!. It’s our practice to offer college scholarships to students in all of our counties, and last year we were able to award $10,000 to the kids!! Providing scholarships is our main focus in community outreach and has become a long-standing tradition. Are you up to the challenge, Four Rivers Association of REALTORS®? We need your help and support! 

We all know that being involved in the business community and supporting our towns, schools, and organizations is one of our best forms of advertising. So while we do it because we care, it also helps drive our businesses. Since we could not hold the banquet, the board of directors voted to move our banquet budget of approximately $2500 to the scholarship fund to start the momentum. We have another $7500 to raise to maintain the level of giving we have achieved in the past. With every member in FRAOR participating at the level they desire, we can do this!! Can you donate $25, $50, $100, $500? Every one of those donations matters. Let’s pull together, just like we would at the banquet, and make this another great year for those kids who are working to continue their education and enrich their lives!
