Over $20,000!! REALTORS® are Largest Contributor to 
Bullhead Regional Habitat for Humanity

BRR, January 2008 - Stephanie Lance

For a second consecutive year, the Bullhead City / Mohave Valley Association of REALTORS® has successfully completed the Arizona REALTOR® Housing Needs Foundation (ARHNF) Habitat for Humanity Challenge. The ARHNF matches up to $5,000 in funds raised by local REALTOR® Associations to benefit Habitat for Humanity. The Bullhead City / Mohave Valley Association took on the Challenge in July of this past year, shortly after our local Habitat for Humanity Chapter was established. Our Government Affairs Committee developed the "Buy a Stud" campaign, asking for donations of $5.00 to theoretically purchase a stud for a Habitat Home. Committee members dressed the part as they presented the campaign and requested donations at Member Mixers, Tour of Homes and Member Meetings throughout the summer. Over 25 individuals and companies donated $100 or more and nearly $1000 was raised from the REALTOR® Golf Tournament organized by your Affiliate Council. With the matching funds from ARHNF, the Bullhead Regional Habitat for Humanity was presented with a check for $11,114.75 at the groundbreaking last month. With the $10,000+ raised last year and over $11,000 this year, the Bullhead City / Mohave Valley Association of REALTORS® is the largest contributor to the Bullhead Regional Habitat for Humanity. Thank you to the volunteers who helped to promote the campaign and THANK YOU to all who contributed! Please consider contributing to the Association's Habitat for Humanity fundraiser again this year!
