The NEXTGENre Bar Camp Conference that was held in Calgary in March raised more than $4,500 for the local charity Hearts and Hammers.
The sold-out conference had more than 300 attendees who supported the charity by purchasing tickets for a home listing donated by sponsor TD Canada Trust. The winner of the draw, Joe Viani, pledged to donate to the cause personally.
In addition, Margaret Neff, a sales rep with CIR Realty and Rick Campos, broker at Re/Max First, each made a personal donation of $1,000.
Hearts and Hammers is a local non-profit run by Dave C. Bonk, an associate at Urban Real Estate Services. The organization provides renovations for locals in need with mobility challenges.
The Calgary organizing committee for the event was spearheaded by Virginia Munden of Oakville Ont. and locally organized by individuals representing various real estate brokerages, including Kelley Skar, Kirsten Faverin, Nick Profeta and Kelly Kimber.
