Charlotte realtors (and their kids) Giving to help the Soul!

August 12th, 2008 categories: Our Charlotte Realtors

One of the things that makes me proud to be the team leader of Charlotte Premier Realty is how my team gives back to the community. Personally, I am involved in many charities but the one I like to talk about the most is supporting my children in raising money for World Vision. (by the way rated 4 stars by Charity Navigator!) With the help of our church St. Johns Episcopal ,and the volunteers, the youth at St. Johns have raised over $330,000 in the past 3 years ~ fasting and sleeping in makeshift cardboard huts! They were even featured in a World Vision promotional video in 2007 and I am proud to say 3 of my teens are in this video. It still brings tears to my eyes to watch that one.  

Another great thing we do with every transaction we have is we give back to the Children’s Miracle Network.  RE/MAX was one of the leading companies to give to that charity. Rhonda Gibbons is also very involved with giving back. She and her husband Mike started a cycling team MojoRiding which in four short years has raised over $250,000 on behalf of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and National multiple sclerosis Society. Ask Rhonda about her 24 Hours of Booty ride ~ its not what you think!  Rhonda’s bike team ride each year in local Charlotte charity events as the 24 Hours of Booty and the MS ride to the Beach. I am not sure how Rhonda does it and sells so much Real Estate but her dedication is unflappable. 

So what do you do to feed your soul? I challenge any family to just 5 hours a month to any community service. From helping in the parks to donating to whatever cause you believe in. We’d love to hear what you are doing ~ please leave us a comment below ~ we listen!
