The Association of Saskatchewan Realtors (ASR) Quality of Life Legacy Event, which was held in Saskatoon, brought together real estate professionals and industry partners from throughout the province to raise money for charity. ASR donated $33,954 to the Saskatoon Community Foundation.
The Quality of Life Legacy Fund provides $5,000 grants to six different charitable organizations from different provincial districts. The 2016 grant recipients are: Forever Friends of Hope Foundation in Qu’Appelle, Joe’s Place Youth Centre in Moose Jaw, The Lighthouse Serving the Battlefords, YWCA Prince Albert, Prairie Hospice Society Inc. in Saskatoon and St. John Ambulance – Saskatchewan in Regina.
“This year saw better attendance than we’ve ever had and was one of our best fundraising efforts to date. It’s a great opportunity to get people from across the province together to support some very deserving organizations. It doesn’t hurt that the event itself is a lot of fun,” says ASR’s fundraising event chair Joanne Kerr.
