Realtors Win the Battle of the Red Kettle

 
FARGO, N.D. - Dec. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- REALTORS® WIN THE BATTLE OF THE RED KETTLE

Fargo, ND – December 23rd. For the second year in a row, the REALTORS® have won the Battle of the Red Kettle raising $31,730 on REALTOR® Ring Day held December 4th. Each year the REALTORS®, Fire Fighters and Law Enforcement Agencies have a challenge. It’s a friendly competition to see who can raise the most money for the Salvation Army. Together, the three organizations raised over $80,000 this year.

REALTOR® Ring Day started in Fargo-Moorhead in 2010, upon a suggestion from two Fargo-Moorhead Area Association of REALTORS® members, Mark and DeAnne Mason, and quickly spread to over 31 states with REALTORS®. In Fargo-Moorhead alone, there were 34 kettle locations and over 300 volunteers ringing the bells. Many local companies generously matched donations made that day. All funds raised during the Red Kettle Campaign stay local to help the people in our community. DeAnne Mason is the REALTOR® Ring Day Chair and has led this event for our organization since it began raising $168,650 to date.

The Salvation Army is here to help meet the basic needs of people in crisis; however, they provide more than food, water and shelter. Last year:
     o 51,705 meals were served in the Hot Meal Program
     o Rental and utility assistance was given to almost 745 households
     o Over 120 people were given assistance with their prescription costs
     o The Emergency Disaster Services Team served over 1,400 people
     o Coats for Kids and Families provided over 1,400 coats to men, women and children in the FM area along with 2,200 warm winter accessories
     o Over 1,051 households have received the personal care and hygiene items they need
