Recognized for giving back to her community, Sandra Bradley of RE/MAX Vernon is the 2013 recipient of the REALTORS Care® Award for the North Okanagan Zone of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB).
“Sandra Bradley is a very worthy recipient of this award,” notes OMREB President and working REALTOR® Karen Singbeil. “Her diligent and ongoing support for bettering the lives of children in need in the Vernon area exemplifies those REALTORS® who have made long‐term contributions to the communities in which they live. They help to promote public awareness that REALTORS® are committed to their communities and care deeply enough to be actively involved.”
Sandra is recognized for tirelessly donating her time and energy to ensure that children in Vernon who are less fortunate are able to share in the spirit of giving at Christmas. Since 2006, her Children’s Christmas Workshop program has collected donations of gently used items to be re-gifted for Moms and Dads with the help of generous co‐sponsors and supporters. Children are able to “shop” for gifts priced from 5 cents to $1 while their parents enjoy a cup of coffee and cookies. The items are wrapped and tagged before leaving the “store” so these kids can proudly place a gift for their Mom and Dad under the tree. The proceeds of the sale of these items are donated to the children of the People Place Society.
The North Zone of OMREB covers an area from Predator Ridge north to Vernon and Coldstream, and also includes the surrounding areas of Falkland, Enderby, Grindrod, Armstrong, Spallumcheen, Lumby and Cherryville. The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) is comprised of 1,008 member REALTORS® and 92 real estate offices in the Southern Interior of BC.
