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

May 2013

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.
