Durham REALTORS^® generously give back to local charities

The Durham Region Association of REALTORS^® (DRAR) believes that contributing to a good Quality of Life in the Region of Durham is a priority and does this by giving back to local charities.

Each year, DRAR raises money at its Annual Christmas Dinner & Charity Auction. This Christmas, REALTORS^® dug deep into their pockets and proceeds totaled over $10,000. The funds have been divided between two very deserving local charities: Durham Deaf Services and Nova's Ark.

Durham Deaf Services is a non-profit organization that provides educational programs and services to the deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing community within the Region of Durham.

Nova's Ark is a registered charity that provides social and communication opportunities for people of all ages and abilities involving a wide range of exotic, gentle animals.
