It’s the end of 2017 and I noticed that there was a flurry of donations from Royal LePagers in the past few weeks.
John and I tend to keep our donations quiet, but I thought it might be good to highlight some of the charitable organizations that we help throughout the year with the hope that it will bring more attention to their work.
It has been a long-standing practice for REALTORS at Royal LePage to donate a portion of every commission cheque to our local Women & Children’s Shelter. **This funds 200 women’s shelters across Canada
**Violence prevention and teen healthy relationship programs with our national partner, Canadian Women’s Foundation
**Founding national partner of Women’s Shelters Canada, sheltersafe.ca
**Founding philanthropic partner of the Fourth R, now in 5,000 schools in Canada
In 2016 alone, REALTORS at Royal LePage raised $2 Million for women & children’s shelters. We are the only real estate company with its own charity, and Royal LePage Canada covers all operating costs so that 100% of funds raised go directly to the cause.
John and I also give a portion of our commission cheques to Hospice Simcoe, and we make ongoing contributions to Youth Haven. It’s truly incredible what the volunteers and employees do for our most vulnerable and it makes us proud to be able to do our small part to help.
