What a night at our November RPAC Redneck Shop Party & Bonfire! 🔥

Great food, great company, and a great cause—complete with a silent auction, door prizes, games, a cozy bonfire with s’mores, and a loaded baked potato bar with brisket and mac & cheese. Thanks to our amazing members and supporters, we raised meaningful funds for RPAC. We even got two more major investors at this event!

We truly appreciate everyone who showed up and made this event such a success. WWVAR knows how to show up for advocacy… and a good time!

We still can’t get over what a fun and meaningful night our Mingle & Jingle Annual Meeting at Valdemar Estates was! 🎄 We wrapped up another fantastic year with a fabulous board of directors, affiliates, and members—celebrating our 2025 achievements, sharing big plans for 2026, enjoying great food and drinks (big thank you to the amazing Valdemar staff for taking such good care of us), giveaways, a Designated REALTOR® fireside chat with our leadership, and ending the night with a fun social… plus Santa made an appearance (and looked a little familiar 😉).

We are so grateful for this incredible Walla Walla Valley Association of REALTORS® community. ❤️

🧡 Annual Care & Share Success! 🧡

Our 40th annual Care & Share Food Drive looked a little different this year — and it was a BIG Dill!

While food barrels remained an important part of our efforts, we added something new: The BIG Dill Food Drive Pickleball Tournament — a fun and fresh way to raise funds and collect food for the BMAC Food Bank. We hosted a convenient drive-through food collection during the tournament at the Walla Walla Country Club and placed donation barrels around town to continue our long standing Care & Share tradition of supporting local families in need.

After connecting with our local BMAC Food Bank team, we learned that monetary donations can stretch even further than food donations, so we set out to make an even greater impact. REALTOR® members and community supporters came out to play, cheer, and give — bringing new energy, fun, and connection to this year’s event. It was a great reminder of what can happen when we unite for a good cause.

It was exciting to try something new and move forward with fresh momentum. Helping our community thrive is what REALTORS® are all about.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, played, and supported this year’s efforts. And a special shoutout to those who hosted food barrels: Super 1 Foods - Walla Walla, Windermere Real Estate/ Walla Walla, Williams Team Homes, REMAX Sells Walla Walla, The Provost Real Estate Team, Coldwell Banker Walla Walla, TitleOne Walla Walla, & Tera Davis - Mortgage Express. Your support helps make this mission possible!

Didn’t get your donation turned in? There’s still time! Send us a message, and we’ll make sure your contribution is included. Every bit helps support local families through the Blue Mountain Action Council Inc. 🧡

🎥 BIG thanks to our Video Sponsor: Square Footage Studios — we appreciate you helping us capture this event in action!
