During these challenging times, COVID-19 continues to put pressure on our shelter-based charities. The Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) is announcing an additional donation of $7,980 to local shelter-based charities through the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation.
“Now more than ever our local charities need our support. Durham REALTORS® care deeply about their communities in which they work and live, with so many charities in need of support, DRAR will donate funds between our four 2020 Charities of Choice,” said DRAR President Vicki Sweeney.
The 2020 Charities of Choice who will be receiving the funds are: Dreams & Wishes; Nanny Angel Network; Luke’s Place; and Shine Through the Rain. Each of these deserving charities are located in Durham Region and serve children and adults in need of support from shelter, legal-aid and financial support and more.
Each year, Durham REALTORS® donate $1 per Member per Month in support of the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation. Along with the dollar per Member per Month donation, Members generously donate and raise funds for DRAR’s annual Charity Golf Tournament and Annual Charity Auction events. In 2019 DRAR Members raised over $35,000 for the 2019 Charity of Choice.
“The generosity of REALTORS® truly knows no bound. I’m proud of our REALTOR® community and the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation for their work in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Sweeney.
The funding will be distributed by the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation (ORCF), an organization that has supported shelter-based organizations throughout Ontario since 1977. In 2019 alone, the Foundation raised more than $1.2 million for shelter-based organizations.
