Event Wrap-Ups
Holiday Wine Tasting
Thanks to the Hamilton County Division for hosting a great wine tasting in honor of the Foundation! On Thursday, November 13, a packed room sampled a variety of wines while munching on delicious food catered by MBP Distinctive Catering and listening to the Carmel High School orchestra. A silent auction raised even more money for homelessness. While we don’t know the total amount raised yet, we do know that everyone had a great time and it kicked the holidays off in style!

On October 16 , the Foundation Board of Directors announced its largest grant total ever as $90,000 was donated to eleven central Indiana organizations.

Oktoberfest Wrap-Up
Oktoberfest 2008 gave several ‘talents’ a chance to shine while enjoying the authentic German atmosphere of the Rathskeller ballroom. The crowd enjoyed original songs from Bruce and Grant Lyons before taking their own shot at karaoke. Check out the pictures at the new Foundation Gallery or click here to view video from the event.
2008 Golf Outing
 Sun Shines on Foundation Outing
After the last few years of threatening conditions, the weather gods blessed the 200 golfers and 50 sponsors of the 15th Annual REALTOR® Foundation Golf Outing held July 24 at Eagle Creek Golf Club. What a day! Good food, great friends, amazing weather, some fantastic shots and some…well let’s say…some less than stellar golf shots made for a wonderful event. In the end, the fantastic supporters of the Foundation helped raise over $25,000 to support those organizations that serve the homeless of central Indiana. We extend our thanks to all the players and volunteers and to the generous sponsors who supported this event. Click here to view those generous sponsors.

Renaissance Bay - April 24, 2008
The REALTOR® Foundation and Renaissance Bay condominiums sponsored a wonderful ‘dusty boots’ tour on April 24. Nearly 200 people attended the event which showcased a southern-living property sure to be a draw on the North side. The event also raised money for the Foundation: more than $2,000 was raised from silent auction items, raffle tickets and donations. Thanks to Renaissance Bay and Langdon Mortgage for a fantastic event!
 The Ball 2008
The 2008 Ball marked the second time that celebrating MIBOR leadership also raised money for the REALTOR® Foundation. This year’s fundraising effort raised $33,630 for the Foundation. Thank you to all of our sponsors and attendees! Click here to see a list of sponsors.
All of the proceeds from this year’s event will be used to help twelve area organizations provide safe, decent living conditions for those affected by homelessness.
Thank you again to all of the sponsors and attendees for helping combine two great traditions!
