Oct. 25, 2005 - FAR Disaster Relief Fund
In the wake of Hurricane Wilma, FAR is continuing to aid in recovery efforts to help people rebuild their lives and businesses through its Disaster Relief Fund. However, to do that, we need the continued support of Realtor members across the state through their generous donations. To apply for disaster assistance or make a tax-deductible contribution online using a secure connection, go to the home page of Planet Realtor (http://www.planetrealtor.com) and click on "FAR Disaster Relief Fund: Contribute now" under "Also on Planet Realtor." Or, to mail a tax-deductible donation, make your check payable to "FAR Disaster Relief Fund, attention Dave Garrison," and send it to: FAR Disaster Relief Fund, PO Box 725025, Orlando FL 32872-5025. The FAR Disaster Relief Fund is available to assist Realtors, including their real estate employees, Realtor board/associations and their staff, in the event of devastation caused by a hurricane. Each request for assistance must be in the way of a completed official FAR Disaster Relief Fund request form. You can obtain a form by contacting your local board/association office or your FAR District Vice President.
The FAR Disaster Relief Fund does not use professional solicitors; 100% of your contribution goes directly to the FAR Disaster Relief Fund. The FAR Disaster Relief Fund is located at 7025 Augusta National Drive, Orlando, FL 32822.
