WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2021 / OneKey™ MLS, the largest Multiple Listing Service in New York State, serving over 40,000 REALTORS®, is announcing it is proud to support the REALTORS® community by donating $5,000 to the NAR REALTORS® Relief Foundation (RRF). In addition, the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS®, Inc. (HGAR) has donated $2,500 to the foundation.
The RRF was established as a REALTOR®-driven response to the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and continues to provide housing-related assistance to those in need following unexpected catastrophes. The foundation restores and rebuilds communities affected by disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes.
Linda Lugo, Chairperson of the Board of Managers for OneKey™ MLS, said, "Playing an active role in supporting the REALTORS® community is very important to our organization. The opportunity to contribute to the RRF allows us to sensibly and responsibly give back to a charity that helps our neighbors and aligns with a cause we support." Lugo added, "We are all REALTORS® and REALTORS® like to help people, so giving to the RRF is a win-win situation."
Thanks to the generosity of individual REALTORS®, REALTOR® Associations, Multiple Listing Services, and other affiliated organizations, the foundation has raised over $32 million in the past 20 years, helping thousands of people.
Jim Speer, CEO of OneKey™ MLS, said, "We know firsthand the value of the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and the events of 9/11, they assisted many local REALTORS® and their families who suffered unimaginable loss. A contribution to the foundation will help the RRF do more for more people in need. It's definitely a cause we can champion."
