Representatives from nine local charitable organizations were on hand to receive donations from the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) on Thursday, December 10, 2015.
RAHB President Donna Bacher and CEO George O’Neill presented the cheques on behalf of the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation, which is supported by members of the Association. Each year, funds donated by RAHB members come back to the community, to be distributed to shelter-related organizations.
“REALTORS® are known for giving back to their community, whether it is through working with community organizations or supporting charities financially,” said O’Neill. “This is just one more example of REALTORS® giving back.”
Cheques totalling $53,521 were given out.
Organizations receiving donations were Good Shepherd, Indwell (formerly Homestead Christian Care), Mark Preece Family House, Mission Services, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation, St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation, The Bridge, The Salvation Army Hamilton and the YWCA Hamilton.
