A message from Canadian REALTORS Care® Foundation Chair Ralph Fyfe:
I don’t need to tell you that the REALTOR® community in Canada is a generous bunch. As you know, REALTORS® across our country raise and donate tons of money and volunteer countless hours of their time for the charities close to their hearts. The Canadian REALTORS Care® Foundation is committed to sharing their stories with the hope of inspiring further good deeds.
We also think it’s important to try our best to measure the impact of REALTORS®’ generosity. To do just that, we asked REALTORS®, real estate boards, associations, franchisors and affiliated charitable foundations how much they gave and raised for charity over the past four years (2012-2015). We’re pleased to announce that the result is over $91 million, which speaks volumes about the generosity of Canadian REALTORS® and the meaningful role they play in the communities where they work and live.
Please take a moment to watch a short video we put together to celebrate the charitable achievements of Canadian REALTORS®.

Layne, “The Auctionista”, is BACK for our 28th REALTORS®4Kids Charity Auction
in support of the Children’s Fund!
RAHB’s 28th REALTORS®4Kids Charity Auction is just around the corner! To get the inside scoop behind the event, our dynamic host, Layne “The Auctionista”, shares her favourite things about working with local REALTORS®:
Q: What inspired you to become “The Auctionista”?
I am passionate about helping others succeed and achieve their dreams and potential. I knew that if I could combine my love of performing with my love of philanthropy, I would have my dream job! As “The Auctionista”, I raise millions of dollars for charities across Canada. These dollars help changes lives. This is my small part in contributing to making our world a better place.
Q: Why should someone attend the REALTORS®4Kids Charity Auction? It’s a “Party with a Heart”! When 500 people party and give back, it’s nothing short of amazing! Colleagues and friends will enjoy a fun and exciting night out that includes great food, fabulous entertainment and, of course, the excitement of competition with the live and silent auctions. What a great way to kick off your Christmas shopping!
Q: What is your favourite part about organizing an event with local REALTORS®?
The RAHB Charity Auction Task Force is made up of the most dedicated and committed group of individuals that I have had the pleasure of working with. Not only are they a super fun bunch, they are generous and work really hard to include amazing auction items and prizes. That is the recipe for a great guest experience and generous support for The Children’s Fund!
