On Friday, December 6, the Rob Rice Homes and Epic Realty teams joined the Thurston County Realtors Association for the 9th consecutive year of raising money for the Salvation Army. Each office braved the cold and rain in a friendly competition to see who could raise the most money in one day. Rob and his team had all-hands on deck with a goal of raising more money than any other office and that they did! Along with fundraising, the team also had a costume contest. An award was given for the most festive dressed partner and the most festive dressed employee and what a fun day it was. Nearly everyone showed up with their favorite holiday gear. Congratulations to Becky Gottleib (aka Present)with Rob Rice Homes and Kaelee (aka Grandma) and Kami (aka Reindeer) with Chicago Title for winning the big prize!
The costume winners!
What a success this day was! They broke their record and raised $16,031.12 in just one day! With 30 partners delivering checks to their kettle and various friends and shoppers they beat their all- time record.
