REALTY EXECUTIVES RAISES MONEY FOR
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY WITH CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT AT LAKE QUIVIRA
LEAWOOD, Kan.
– Realty Executives Mid-America Region will raise money for Habitat for
Humanity with a company-sponsored golf tournament at Lake Quivira Country Club
on June 14. The Junior/Senior Golf Classic is open to the public and everyone
is invited to play to raise money for the charity.
All proceeds from the event
will benefit Habitat for Humanity. This golf tournament – as well as other company
sponsored fundraisers this year – will pay for the construction of a sixth
Realty Executives-sponsored Habitat for Humanity home in Kansas City to begin
construction in the fall of 2011. The fee for a four-person team is $125 per
person. The tournament will be played as a “best ball” of each team.
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, a
partner of Realty Executives of Kansas City, has been instrumental in raising
funds for the fifth Habitat for Humanity homes as have other company partners,
local real estate agents and clients.
Steve and Nancy Summers,
longtime brokers and owners of Realty Executives of Kansas City, organized the
fundraiser in memory of their son, Stephen R. Summers (Jr.), and Steve’s father,
Stephen A. Summers (Sr). Both beloved family members died in 2004.
The Summers wanted to honor
the life and career of their son and father. The Summers choose to build dream
homes for needy local families by partnering with Kansas City Habitat for
Humanity because finding homes for families was important to both men.
