More people in need can experience warm, safe shelter courtesy of Realtors and caring community members who contributed to the success of the 4th annual Gimme Shelter fundraiser in Winnipeg. Countless volunteer hours, 500 attendees and more than 100 business sponsors raised close to $50,000 for the Manitoba Real Estate Association (MREA) Shelter Foundation. The evening included fire dancers, three live bands, silent and live auctions and karaoke.

Winn Adair, a sales rep with Sutton Group – Kilkenny Real Estate, has worked on the event for four years and was the chair of Corporate Donations for 2013. “I’m among 100 board builders who contribute $1,000 each so we have a fund of $100,000! I hear from time to time people complaining about what’s bad so I always encourage them to join us and make a difference. That’s why I get involved.”
