Welcome to our Community Outreach Programs page, where we showcase initiatives dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. At Abilene Association of Realtors, we believe in the power of community and strive to create impactful opportunities for giving back. Explore below to learn more about our flagship initiative, Walk with Pride, and how we engage with our community through events like the Harvest Festival and Abilene Gives Day.
About Walk with Pride:
Walk with Pride is our flagship initiative that aims to provide essential footwear to children in need within our community. We understand the importance of proper footwear for a child’s development, not only in terms of physical health, but also in fostering confidence and sense of dignity.
How we make a difference:
Through Walk with Pride, we work closely with local schools, shelters, and community organizations to identify children in need of footwear support. Our dedicated team organizes fundraising events and distribution efforts to ensure that every child receives high-quality shoes that fit properly.
About Harvest Fest:
Join us every fall for Harvest Fest, a community celebration that brings people together for a good cause. This festive event serves as a fundraiser for Walk with Pride, allowing us to raise vital funds while spreading joy and camaraderie.
What to Expect:
Harvest Fest features an array of activities for the whole family, including a bounce house, food and a number of fun game booths sponsored by members and affiliates of Abilene Association of Realtors.
Supporting Walk with Pride:
Proceeds are tax deductible and go directly to Abilene Realtors Foundation ( a registered 501 c3) to benefit Walk with Pride.
About Abilene Gives Day:
Abilene Gives Day is an annual community-wide fundraising event that brings together nonprofits, donors, and volunteers to support various causes. At Abilene Association of Realtors, we actively participate in Abilene Gives Day to raise awareness and funds for Walk with Pride.
How it Works:
On Abilene Gives Day, individuals are encouraged to donate to their favorite nonprofits through an online giving platform. Donations are amplified through matching funds and prize incentives, maximizing the impact of every contribution.
Supporting Walk with Pride:
