REALTORS Care Charity Drive
Thank you for making the first-ever Charity Drive a success!
Thank you for helping the REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive raise $50,000 for local charities
Thanks to your donations and promotion on social media last week, the revamped REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive raised $50,000 this year for local housing-related charities!
The money you raised from the week-long fundraiser will help the Blanket Drive’s long-time partner charities that serve people across the Lower Mainland. These charities will be able to purchase additional supplies or provide more services to those most in need because of your generosity.
Given that most charities aren’t collecting clothing items this year due to COVID-19 safety concerns, we had to quickly adapt the purpose of this year’s campaign. The redesigned campaign raised funds through an online fundraising drive that ran from November 23-30.
“The pandemic has been devastating for our partner charities and the vulnerable people they help. The resources at their disposal are down and the need from the people they serve is up,” said Colette Gerber, Chair, REBGV. “I want to thank all of you for helping to make this year’s campaign a success!”
