On Thursday, November 20, 2008, The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) held their 20th annual charity auction and, once again, AM900 CHML and Y108’s Christmas Tree of Hope campaign benefited from the generosity of the over 700 in attendance.
REALTORS®, business associates, friends, family, and the community gathered at Michelangelo Banquet and Event Venue, opened their hearts and dug deep into their pockets to help raise $75,000 for the events 20th Anniversary.
“We are thrilled with this year’s success”, said Tony Locane, Co-Chairman, and RAHB Charity Auction Task Force. “We have been truly amazed by the response of the REALTORS® and community, who all gave so generously.”
“AM900 CHML and Y108’s Christmas Tree of Hope campaign has been committed to helping needy children in Hamilton and Burlington for over 30 years. It’s this long term commitment to underprivileged children that encourages us to continue our partnership with the Children’s Fund,” added Shawn Murray, Co-Chairman, RAHB Charity Auction Task Force.
The money raised from the purchase of auction items went to assist in helping underprivileged children in over 30 Hamilton-Burlington area charities. To date, the annual auction has raised over half a million dollars for the Christmas Tree of Hope campaign, making RAHB its single largest contributor.
