Jefferson City Area REALTORS Impact the Community

In 2007, the Jefferson City Area Board of REALTORS® made a positive impact with their community service efforts, raising $17,221.94 for area organizations. These members, REALTORS® and Affiliates, recognize the importance of strengthening the community and making it a better place for everyone.

* Sponsored the 1st Annual "Cinco de Mayo 5K Run/Walk". Over 90 runners and walkers participated - $3,012.00 raised for the Council for Drug Free Youth.

* Sponsored the 5th Annual Chili Supper REALTORS® & Friends Keep the Home Fires Burning chili supper, raffle and food drive. Over 600 people attended this event. This event raised $5,670.94 for the Samaritan Center utility assistance program and 5,793 pounds of food for the Samaritan Center pantry.
* Sponsored a WILDflower for the Art in the Park event. This $3,500.00 sponsorship supported art in the community. The WILDflower is currently on display on the West Edgewood greenway, but will be shared with local schools this spring, giving area children and their families the opportunity to enjoy this art.
* Provided eight scholarships at a total cost of $4,000 for students to attend Missouri Business Week. This summer entrepreneurial camp is for high school sophomores and juniors and teaches them about marketing and business.
* Provided three schools with the “It’s Your Move” materials for their classroom, totaling $289.00. This course provides practical information for high school students to prepare them for their futures as housing consumers. Students from Fatima, Russellville and South Callaway benefited from this program in 2007.
* Purchased $750 worth of school supplies to help "Pack the Bus" providing school supplies to children in need. REACT (REALTOR® Educating and Challenging Teens) continued its partnership with Jefferson City High School (JCHS), by mentoring students at-risk and also assisting with school supplies.
