Are you looking at my putt?

The HBA of F-M's most popular member events, our Golf Outings, will open for sponsorship and registration next month! Dates will be July 20 and Aug. 17 at Hawley Golf & Country Club.

 

Early next month, watch for sponsorship opportunities which allow you early team registration. These events routinely sell out so don't shank your shot!

 

Giving Hearts Day was a smashing success!

You generously gave over $50,000 to support Home Builders Care of F-M Foundation's community build projects, scholarships and workforce-centered programming.

 

Home Builders Care is the HBA of F-M's charitable arm. Their donor base increased by 66% over last year. A huge thank you to the F-M Area Association of Realtors for their partnership in fundraising and our friendly competition to win the "Building The Future" Cup. While the Builder Team came out on top, everyone was a winner in the end.

 

Final breakdown: $42,470 raised by 𝘉𝘜𝘐𝘓𝘋𝘌𝘙 𝘛𝘌𝘈𝘔: $7,888 raised by 𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘓𝘛𝘖𝘙 𝘛𝘌𝘈𝘔: $594 raised by 𝘈𝘕𝘖𝘕𝘠𝘔𝘖𝘜𝘚 = $50,952 𝘛𝘖𝘛𝘈𝘓

 

Advocacy Update
