Boise Regional REALTORS® (BRR) collected 267 balls and $2,667 in donations and matching funds to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County.
The REALTOR® Outreach Committee (ROC) at BRR launched the “BRR Won’t Drop the Ball” equipment drive on August 29th and collected sports balls and cash donations through October 19th.
“The Boys & Girls Clubs experience a need for sports balls and equipment throughout the year,” said Carey Farmer, 2016 President of Boise Regional REALTORS® and Broker Associate with Group One Sotheby’s International Realty. “We are excited to be able to engage our REALTOR® community and make an impact on our local Boys & Girls Clubs.”
In 2016, the National Association of REALTORS® joined forces with Boys & Girls Clubs of America in an effort to strengthen communities and support the country’s youth. ROC members were able to work with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County to address the specific needs of our local clubs.
Heath Dreger, Director of Athletics at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County, stated, “We currently have a very active athletic schedule at all of our locations. Donations of sports equipment and balls help our young athletes in basketball, soccer, volleyball, and other sports, grow their skills to their fullest potential. It is exciting to see how a new basketball or soccer ball can light up a kid’s face and give them the motivation they need to keep practicing.”
