Fredericksburg (VA) REALTORS® Use Murder Mystery Game to Boost RPAC Investments

Murder for fun and profit? Seems unlikely, in an organization with as high ethical standards as NAR. But the 1,400-member Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS^® (FAAR) pulled off a fundraising coup by “killing off” the association’s President, Chip Taylor — at a “Murder Mystery Dinner” at the local country club. With an RPAC Fundraising Grant from NAR, the association hired a company to script the event and defrayed some of the food costs. They had a raucous good time and raised more than $4,000 for RPAC, with additional pledges still coming in. Who says Crime Doesn’t Pay?
