Coming to Phoenix RE Bar Camp? Help support charities!

Attendance at RE Bar Camp is free.

And you’re going to get a TON of information.

For free.

If you are one of the first 400 to sign in on the morning of REBC, you’ll get an event t-shirt and lunch.

For free.

So how about paying it forward and helping some charities?

No, this isn’t required, but it’s a good thing to do. A very good thing.

We’ve decided to support three charities:

Desert Mission Food Bank:

Items most needed: tuna fish, peanut butter, cereal, soup, bath & laundry soap, baby formula, large diapers.

Packages From Home:

Items most needed:

AT&T International Phone cards – be sure they’re for calls from the Middle East to the US

FOOD Please Make Sure Your Donation has at Least Two Months of Shelf Life Left.

* Pre sweetened powdered drink mixes ( Crystal Lite, Gatorade, KoolAid…)
* Coffee ( ground, vacuum pak or small cans)
* Beef Jerky ( small packages)

HYGIENE

* Foot Powder (Gold Bond etc)
* “Cool Ties”
* Eye Drops (for desert environment)
* Lip Balm ( Blistex, Carmex, Chapstick etc.)
* Men’s Deodorant ( Stick type – NOT anti-perspirant)
* Hand Sanitizer ( small and medium size)

Mother’s Fighting for Others:

In desperate need of 35 backpacks (No rolling ones – you can’t roll on a dirt road) for orphaned school girls in Kenya. This is a wonderful organization. We don’t need 100 backpacks, so please leave a comment below if you can bring one. MFFO also needs:

* Pencils
* blue/black/red sharp or FINE point pens http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/181636/Paper-Mate-Ballpoint-Stick-Pens-0/
* Erasers, preferably the ones that erase pen too http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/930032/Paper-Mate-Union-Pen-Pencil-Eraser/

All of these organizations also need cash. Even a five dollar donation can go a long way. (More of course, is welcome)
So if you can not bring a specific item listed above, please open your wallet and donate. We’ll pool all cash collected and distribute it to these fine charities.

I’m a real estate broker, I know what the economy is like. I also know what we’ve paid for some classes, and this event is going to blow most of those classes away. Please consider paying it forward.

THANK YOU!!

Real Estate Bar Camp Phoenix is gonna ROCK!

    I love it when people run different events to help support local charities. I havent had a chance to go to a lot of events but I will be hoping to change that soon. I have been looking and keeping tabs online about different events that are going on. Thanks for posting this. I appreciate it.
