The dedicated sales team at EXIT Realty of Lubbock worked tirelessly planning a gala, sold-out fundraising event benefiting Lubbock Habitat for Humanity held last month at E & J Smokehouse Event Center at Spirit Ranch. The event was a huge success, garnering media attention and raising funds through the sale of raffle tickets, sponsorships and live and silent auctions.
A portion of every transaction fee collected by EXIT Realty Corp. International is applied to its charitable fund. Through the Spirit of EXIT Dollar-for-Dollar Matching Program, EXIT offices and associates can raise money for local, approved, registered charities, including Habitat for Humanity, and apply to EXIT’s head office to have those funds matched from the company’s pledged pool of funds. The EXIT Realty of Lubbock event raised $42,900 which EXIT Realty Corp. International proudly matched, resulting in a total donation to Lubbock Habitat for Humanity of $85,800, enough to sponsor a full home build.
“Habitat is very humbled that EXIT Realty partnered with us to make someone’s dream of home ownership a reality,” said Marie Hanza, Executive Director of Lubbock Habitat for Humanity. “While most people think of Habitat has a builder of homes, Habitat is actually in the business of changing individuals’ lives through building strength, stability and self-reliance. Habitat thanks EXIT Realty for the countless hours its agents worked to make this event a success. It was such a pleasure working with Franchisees, Gene McGuire and Russell McGuire and everyone at EXIT Realty.”
