Today is Native American Day
In 1915, the annual Congress of the Society of American Indians met in Lawrence, KS (Haskell University) to form the Official Proclamation of American Indian Day.
In deep respect and remembrance, we honor the ancestral tribes who lived, prospered, and laid the foundations of culture on these lands.

🏠 When we talk about housing, we're really talking about community.

On this episode of Lawrence Real + Local: Keepin’ it Real, we're joined by Greta Carter-Wilson with Coldwell Banker American Home to shine a light on something that has quietly made a BIG impact in Douglas County: the Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation.

Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $300,000 to local organizations and programs supporting housing stability. And thanks to the Lawrence Board of REALTORS® covering the administrative costs, 100% of fundraising proceeds go directly back into community programs.

We're talking about where that money goes, how organizations can apply for funding, and how events like All-In Casino Night and the Charity Classic Golf Tournament turn a really fun day or night out into meaningful support for our neighbors.

And one thing we really want people to know: you don't have to be a REALTOR® to be part of it. Attend an event. Become a sponsor. Donate. Volunteer. There are plenty of ways our whole community can get involved.

🎙️ Hosted by Lexie Haskin with Bank Midwest & Patrick Dipman with McGrew Real Estate.
