Members, sponsors and friends of the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) showed their generosity and community spirit at the 24th Annual Charity Auction in support of the CHML-Y108 Children’s Fund. RAHB is proud to announce that $40,600 was raised at the annual Christmas charity auction and social.
“This auction shows the great things that happen when REALTORS® and the community come together,” said Aileen Araujo, Co-Chair of this year’s Charity Auction Task Force. “The support we received was amazing.”
Proceeds from the partnership between RAHB and AM900 CHML/Y108 continue to support many local children’s charities throughout Hamilton and Burlington year round. Over the 24 years of the partnership, RAHB’s annual auction has raised over $700,000 for the charity, making RAHB its single largest contributor.
“The money raised through this auction helps so many organizations which support children and children’s causes,” added Janice Rocchi, Co-Chair of the event. “We are proud to help the Children’s Fund help give a child a Christmas.”
The CHML/Y108 Christmas Tree of Hope Campaign began in 1976 as a charitable initiative to help raise money for disadvantaged children during the holiday season. The campaign became a legally registered charity with tax exempt status shortly thereafter under the official name of The CHML/Y108 Children’s Fund. The Children’s Fund offers assistance to over 30 different charities each year.
