Two Decades of Dedication: The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation’s Milestone
As JoAnn Landry, broker/president of Royal LePage Burloak Real Estate Services, eloquently stated, “As we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation this year, I would like to thank all of our sales representatives and employees for their support and generosity over the years. Their commitment to our cause ensures that we can continue to support two essential charitable organizations within our community.” This quote highlights the broader context of Royal LePage’s national philanthropic efforts.
The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, celebrating its impressive 20th anniversary, stands as the largest public foundation in Canada dedicated exclusively to supporting women’s shelters and violence prevention programs. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised over $43 million, directing funds to more than 200 women’s shelters and critical community programs across the country. This monumental achievement is powered by the collective efforts of Royal LePage real estate agents and brokerages nationwide, who donate a portion of their commissions and participate in numerous fundraising events.
