St. Charles County (MO) Association Turns Evening of Fun and Games into Serious RPAC Receipts

It’s not every day that the president of the St. Charles County Association of REALTORS^® gets hoisted 15 feet off the ground in the basket of a boom-truck.  But that’s what happened September 12, 2012 when the 14,000-member association, launched its annual RPAC fundraising event with a much-anticipated Golf Ball Drop.  Members had paid $5 apiece for the 330 marked balls that were dumped overboard.  The member whose winning ball landed nearest the target got a prize.  A lively auction, dinner and games rounded out the event, which raised more than $18,000 and added nine Major Investors and 11 Major Investor pledges.   A $2,500 RPAC fundraising grant from NAR helped to pay for the event and to raise 50 percent more than the previous year’s event.
