Run in Spirit: With a Donation to the REALTOR Relief Fund
LOUISIANA REALTORS • October 19, 2018
This year during NAR’s REALTOR Conference & Expo, there will be the first-ever 5K race/walk around Boston starts and ends at the Boston Common, the oldest city park in America. This event benefits the REALTORS® Relief Foundation and other local charities, including New England Center for Homeless Veterans, St. Francis House and Friend's of Boston's Homeless.
Louisiana REALTORS has assembled the Louisiana Lagniappe team led by President Pam Testroet. The group will participate in the event and is seeking donations that will benefit the Disaster Relief Fund. Many of us in Louisiana have benefited from the contributions of our fellow REALTORS following disasters and our friends in Florida and Carolinas could use the favor returned. If you aren’t attending NAR’s meeting in Boston, you can “Run in Spirit” with the team and donate at the link below.
