Atlanta REALTORS® Donates $67,500 to Atlanta Children's Shelter
October 8, 2020
In an effort to boost investments in the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC), the Atlanta REALTORS® Association (ARA) established the "ARA Match" RPAC Program. During the month of September, every dollar that our members invested in RPAC, ARA decided to match that investment with a contribution to the Atlanta Children's Shelter of up to $67,000!
Thanks to our wonderful membership, the ARA Match Program raised $14,000 for RPAC this year! Since the ARA's two signature fundraising events - the Spring Social Fundraiser and Showcase Trade Show - were both impacted by COVID-19 this year, the Board of Directors approved by a unanimous vote to contribute more than $14K to the Atlanta Children's Shelter. We are pleased to announce the Atlanta REALTORS® Association will be donating $67,500 to the Atlanta Children's Shelter to help support local children and families in need.
