Realtors give back

We wrapped up our annual Realty Executives Polar Bear Dip this weekend. We raised $19,000 for the Food Bank. Thank you to every realtor who took the plunge in 6C water at the Royal Glenora Club. Thank you to every donor, Edmonton is a warmer place because of you all. Being a member on the Internal Advertising Committee for Realty Executives, I've seen first hand what a difference can be made when we donate our time, money and effort to people in need. Realtors have made a lot of money during these boom years in Alberta. They have also given a lot back to the community. This is usually done out of gratitude. The list of charities and causes we support is lengthy, but when a realtor is willing to freeze his/her jewels to feed the hungry...that's giving!
