It's time for the VBR Foundation's Annual Golf Tournament - and we're taking it online this year! Golf with your friends between now and September 30 and contribute to the Vail Board of Realtors® Foundation. One lucky donor will receive a 7-night stay at a private condo in Indian Wells, California (value $3,500)! Find out how to participate below.
Don't Golf? No problem! You can still participate. Make a $50 donation to the Vail Board of Realtors® Foundation, and you will be entered in the drawing to win the prize.
Coming up in September, we have some great classes. Make sure to check them out and sign up!
Have a great week.
