The #KWRealtorRun 2020 was a Success!
Kitchener-Waterloo Association of REALTORS (KWAR) launched a 5K REALTOR® Run in support of Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region last fall. With COVID-19 affecting most in-person events, the goal was to find a fun way to come together as a community and in a manner that would be safe for everyone. Participants ran or walked their own route at their own chosen time during the week of September 28th. Participants were also invited to track their progress using their mobile devices. KWAR was initially looking for a way to make up for funds that would normally be raised by its annual Charity Golf Tournament which had been canceled earlier in the year due to the pandemic.
The run raised over $16,700 surpassing the goal of $15,000. KWAR was able to donate an additional $10,000 to the charity resulting in a total of $25,702.94 for Habitat for Humanity of Waterloo Region. A safe place to call home has never been more important. Realtors are very proud to support such a cause.
Another goal of the run was to promote the community that we call home and show others why Kitchener-Waterloo is such a great place to live. Participants snapped photos along their route and shared what they love most about the region by posting to their socials using #KWRealtorRun.
We hope you can join us this year!
