Florida Realtors announces Haitian relief

ORLANDO, Fla. – Jan. 15, 2010 – In partnership with the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), Florida Realtors® will make a contribution and collect individual donations to help the Haitian people following this week’s devastating earthquake.

“We have all been deeply touched by the horrific damage and loss of life caused by the earthquake in Haiti. It is truly incomprehensible how the Haitian people are suffering,” says Florida Realtors® President Wendell Davis.

Florida Realtors’ Leadership Team, led by Davis, decided to contribute $10,000, earmarked for Haitian relief efforts, to NAR’s Realtors® Relief Foundation.

In addition, Florida Realtors will collect individual monetary donations during its Mid-Winter Business Meetings next week, Jan. 20 – 24, at the Renaissance Orlando Resort (http://www.floridarealtors.org/NewsAndEvents/Mid-Winter-Meetings.cfm). Checks and cash – no credit cards, please – will be accepted at the Florida Realtors registration desk. All contributions will be forwarded to NAR’s Realtors Relief Fund for disbursement.

“It is in challenging situations such as this that Realtors come together to, once again, show that their compassion and devotion to community are unmatched,” says Davis.

Association members not attending the meetings next week may also contribute to the Florida Realtors’ Haitian relief effort.

Send checks, payable to “Realtors Relief Foundation,” to:
