Come out and help support Royal LePage's own National Charity. The Shelter Foundation. All proceeds from the our LOCAL Garage Sale for Shelter will stay LOCAL. 100 per cent of event’s revenue supports local women’s shelters and programs to end family violence. The proceeds from this sale with go to The Nipissing Transition House. A safe haven for women and children that have been subject to domestic violence or abuse.
The National statistics are staggering.
-51% of women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16.
-360,000 children are exposed to domestic violence each year.
-One to two women are murdered by a current or former partner each week in Canada.
-In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, 3 women will be assaulted by an intimate partner.
Royal LePage real estate agents and their clients are working to create safer homes and safer communities by contributing more than $10 million since 1999, 1.8 million alone last year, to help women and children across Canada. Through donating a portion of their commission on the purchase or sale of your property, our agents are helping bring hope and provide shelter for those who need it most.
Last year 130 offices took part in this event, and we were thrilled to announce that together we raised over $300,000 – literally a quarter at a time!
COME OUT AND HELP US MAKE THIS YEAR A BIGGER SUCCESS!!!
SEE YOU THERE.
