Three Greater Vancouver REALTORS® were recognized for their deep commitment to charitable causes in 2010. Rob Jeeves, Kenan MacKenzie, and Patricia Simpson were named 2010 recipients of the REALTORS Care® Awards during an event hosted by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). The REALTORS Care® Award is presented annually to REALTORS®in Greater Vancouver who work to support their communities through fundraising or volunteer activities.
Jeeves, of RE/MAX Lifestyles Realty in Maple Ridge, is one of the founders of the Drive for the Cure golf tournament, which has raised approximately $1 million in its 12-year history. In 2010, Jeeves expanded the tournament to include a second one in Victoria. The funds raised each year support Ridge Meadows Hospital, Langley Memorial Hospital and the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria.
“REALTORS®give back to their communities in so many different ways. These three people provide examples of the charitable work done each year within the REALTOR® community,” said Rosario Setticasi, REBGV President.
Each year, REALTORS® donate time, money and enthusiasm to numerous charitable and volunteer causes. Over the last three years, Greater Vancouver REALTORS® have donated $6.3 million to charitable causes.
