REALTOR® Appreciation Day
Special Backpacks for Kids
Fundraiser
www.BPJustForMe.com
Once again, GTAR is kicking-off its fundraising efforts for Backpacks for Kids during REALTOR®
Appreciation Day. This year, there will be a special fundraising effort with a twist: You will
be able to purchase $2 tickets for a 50/50 cash drawing—so the more tickets you buy,
the more money you can win, AND the help Backpacks for Kids! The winner will get 50%
of the money collected, and the other half will go to support Backpacks for Kids. The
winner will be drawn at REALTOR® Appreciation Day, April 7. You do not have to be present to
win. To buy tickets, look for GTAR members wearing bright green Backpacks for Kids t-shirt,
or stop by the GTAR booth, or the F&M Bank booth.
GTAR needs your support! No donation is too small or unappreciated!
It’s your generosity that makes this project a success!
We can’t do it without you!
In the last five years, with your help, GTAR has raised $77,195 and provided backpacks
filled with basic essentials to 1,500+ deserving children.
• The recipients are chosen through Family and Children’s Services with whom we have built a strong relationship. They
are very careful in selecting only the children who have the greatest need, and are so very grateful for our help.
•This year our goal is to raise $15,000 to provide 300 backpacks.
•Each backpack costs $50.00 and is filled with basic essentials such as socks, shirt, underwear, jeans, shoes, and
toiletries.
•Money needs to be raised by June 30th to allow time to purchase the supplies with Walmart, stuff backpacks, and
coordinate the big pizza party in August when we distribute the backpacks to the kids.
Backpacks for Kids
$50 will provide a backpack for one child.

to the listing agreement.
Industry professionals pronounce it correctly.
2. The compensation paid by a listing
broker to a cooperating broker in respect
