It's hard to believe what a dollar can buy these days. You can't even grab a coffee for a buck anymore. But what if I told you that just $1 a month could actually make a big difference in people's lives right here in our community?
Hi, I'm Jesse L, and this is your GVR news update. We've got some exciting news to share about a new program we're launching in 2026 called the Realtor's Care Community Relief Program. This isn't just another charity; it's all about helping people find shelter when they really need it, and providing some financial help during tough times or emergencies.
How the Program Came About
We didn't just dream this up out of the blue. We talked to our members and looked at other successful programs that are already working well across North America. The goal is to create something impactful and sustainable.
Key Takeaways
- Focus: Helping community members with shelter and financial relief during crises.
- Funding: Two main ways: a small monthly contribution from members and fundraising at the annual gala.
- Impact: Aiming to raise $200,000 to $300,000 annually.
- Launch: Scheduled for 2026.
Funding the Initiative
To make this program a reality, we're introducing two main ways to contribute. First, there's a simple $1 per member, per month contribution called the Realtor's Care contribution. It's a small amount from each of us that adds up. Second, we'll have a charitable fundraising component at our annual Medallion Club gala. A part of every ticket sold will go directly to this program.
We're looking at raising somewhere between $200,000 and $300,000 each year with these efforts. That's a significant amount that will allow us to make a real, tangible impact in our community.
An Evolution of Giving Back
This initiative represents an exciting step forward for our charitable work. It’s something we can all feel good about, coming together to give back in a way that truly matters. Your ongoing generosity and commitment to making a difference are what make programs like this possible.
Keep an eye out for more updates on the Realtor's Care Community Relief Program as the year goes on. That's all for today's GVR news update. We'll see you next time!
