Members of the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) once again proved their generosity and community spirit at the 2010 Charity Auction in support of the CHML-Y108 Children’s Fund. Close to 400 members, their friends, donors and members of the public attended the auction at Carmen’s Conference and Banquet Centre on November 17 and generously bid on live and silent auction items. The result: a donation in of $54,122 to the Children’s Fund.
The goal for the foundation charity ride over the last few years has been to travel throughout Ontario raising the awareness of the Foundation and its goals to the communities, fellow REALTORS® and real estate Boards. In keeping with that goal, the riders who have participated, have visited to date, 33 of the 42 real estate Boards in Ontario. In 2011, the remainder of the boards will be visited. The support and involvement from the real estate Boards and member REALTORS® has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated by all those who participated in the ride. Sponsoring meals and refreshments along the way allows riders to truly donate 100 per cent of the proceeds raised to the foundation. Proceeds resulting over the years from the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation Charity Motorcycle Ride have averaged approximately $40,000 per year.
