Royal LePage Kelowna broker/owner Francis Braam and broker/managers Dave Favell and Steve Gray recently presented more than $11,200 to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter.
Sales reps in the office donated part of their commissions to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and held fundraising events throughout the year.
“Violence against women and children is a significant problem in all communities across Canada. Research has shown that it happens in all cultures and religions, in all ethnic and racial communities, and any age and income level,” says the brokerage in a news release.
“It is estimated that 360,000 children witness family violence in any given year. By assisting women’s shelters, we are ensuring women and children have a safe haven from domestic violence and provide funding for support and programs like the Inside/ Outside Violence Prevention for Youth offered by the Kelowna Women’s Shelter in our communities and schools. This type of support is essential in helping women and children heal and rebuild their lives.”
