REALTORS® Donate
1200 Gifts To Area’s Needy Children

Cary, NC (December 9, 2008) – Members of the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® (RRAR) will convene tomorrow at 10:30am to load trucks with more than 1,200 wrapped gifts for Project Angel Tree.  Adding spice to this RRAR holiday tradition, weather permitting, REALTOR® motorcycle rider members will provide an escort to the trucks that will deliver the toys to a holding facility in Raleigh.

RRAR’s Community Service Committee is partnering with Friends of Wake County Guardian ad Litem to sponsor the program.  For the eighth year and in the spirit of the season, RRAR members help to provide for needy children who might otherwise go without. 

The RRAR Community Service Chairwoman, Carol McCormick said, “This year it is more meaningful than any I can remember.  RRAR members feel so fortunate to have this opportunity to give back in a year when other’s needs are greater than our own.  We hope that these gifts will add joy to the lives of children who would otherwise go without.”

The children range in age from newborn to eighteen years old; are not under the financial umbrella of other organizations; have been removed from their family of origin because of abuse or neglect; or are living with extended family members. 

With more than 6542 members, RRAR promotes the highest ethical and professional standards and cooperation among its members; provides products, programs and services to meet the evolving needs of the real estate industry and consumers; serves as leading advocate of private property rights and community involvement.

Friends of Wake County Guardian ad Litem is run entirely by volunteers who donate their time, talent and resources to ensure that 100% of all donations go directly to further their mission and donations are 100% tax-deductible.  For more information regarding Guardian ad Litem visit http://www.wakecountygal.org/friends_of_gal1.htm
