We had an outstanding event on May 23rd, 2024. We set a goal to raise $50,000 to help Lubbock Habitat for Humanity build a home in their Blitz campaign this Fall. After four months of preparation, we hosted a beautiful dinner that included vendor sponsors, a raffle and silent/live auctions. The response was tremendous. We were blessed to have our 20 representatives from Habitat for Humanity join us for this event and bring awareness to what they do and how we can help.
The funds raised will go towards a new home that will be built in September. Many of our agents will also go out and donate their time in helping construct this home. This was our 4th time helping Habitat. They support our local community and do it through housing, which matches our values and business.
A portion of every transaction fee received by EXIT Realty Corp. International is applied to its charitable fund. Through the Spirit of EXIT Charitable Program, EXIT offices and associates can raise money for local, approved, registered charities and apply to EXIT’s head office to have those funds matched from the company’s pool of funds. Russell and his team raised an astounding $50,088.94 with their fundraiser and with EXIT Realty Corp. International’s $7,500 match they were able to bring that donation total up to $57,588.94 for Lubbock Habitat for Humanity.
“The partnership between Lubbock Habitat for Humanity and EXIT Realty of Lubbock has culminated in the completion of 3 homes and the proceeds from the 2024 fundraiser, along with the volunteer hours of EXIT associates will result in a 4th home for a low/moderate-income first-time homeowner. Lubbock Habitat is blessed to have the support of EXIT Realty of Lubbock,” said Sabrina Andrews, Director of Operations, Lubbock Habitat for Humanity.
