REALTORS Help Haiti
January 24, 2010
Dear Fellow REALTORS®, by now, we all know about the severe devastation caused by the earthquakes in Haiti. NAR is helping answer the calls for help in two key ways.
First, NAR is contributing $550,000 to charities that will help bring much-needed supplies and care to the people of Haiti. Included in that sum is $100,000 donated by our REALTOR Benefits® Program partner, Lowe’s®, which NAR matched at $100,000. From they will donate $50,000 to The Harvest of Haiti, founded by REALTOR® Patrick Moore, a 2007 Good Neighbor Award winner. Patrick has done great work for several years in Haiti supporting orphans, delivering clean water and providing medical care for more than 3,500 people a year.
NAR is also contributing $500,000 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which is supporting earthquake recovery efforts with immediate relief and long-term support to earthquake survivors. For up-to-the-minute information about these efforts, visit NAR’s Haiti relief page on REALTOR.org.
Second, NAR is asking for our support and accepting donations from REALTORS® through the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. Please consider giving today. To make a donation, go to , and complete the contribution form.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
Our fellow REALTORS® have earned a reputation for our compassionate work on behalf of others – both here in the United State and around the world. I hope you will join our latest efforts and bring that same compassion and hope to people who desperately need it.
As we all know this is a great cause, and many Haitian families and children are in great need. I must say if you have not done your part as a REALTOR® I would highly recommend taking a few minutes and contributing to this REALTORS® Relief Foundation and please take action now as Haiti really needs all of the worlds support.
I have asked my fellow Tulsa area REALTORS®, to please take a moment and help the Haitian families and children as they are such need, especially with the current tragedy and historic devastation.
So, let’s all stand up as REALTORS® not only Tulsa area REALTORS®, but throughout the nation with the compassionate hearts we are known for and do our part to help this country in need.
Once again, please take a few moments, and go to www. realtor.org/relief to make your donation.
