The Realtor® Community Housing Foundation (RCHF), the charitable arm of the Lexington-Bluegrass Association of Realtors®, is hosting its inaugural charity gala on Thursday, October 7. The gala, in partnership with Lexington Habitat for Humanity and REACH (Resources, Education, and Assistance for Community Housing), will be held at Limestone Hall, inside the historic courthouse.
The three groups are coming together to celebrate the work they have done together to improve the quality of life for residents of Central Kentucky and to raise funds and awareness to help continue those efforts in providing education, support and housing options to those living in this region.
"Our organizations contribute a wealth of housing resources to our area,” said Rusty Underwood, president of RCHF. “This event will be a great opportunity to bring awareness to each of our missions, funding to our programs and allow attendees to see and share in our successes."
Special guest, UK Men’s Basketball Coach John Calipari, and his wife, Ellen, will be attending the gala. In addition, the entertainment for the event will be provided by former UK Women's Basketball Coach Matthew Mitchell and his band the Nashville All-Stars.
Sponsorships are available and individual tickets can be purchased although seating is very limited. To inquire about attending, contact Dwan Taylor at dwan@lbar.com. To learn more about the gala, visit lbar.com/pages/charitygala.
The Realtor®-Community Housing Foundation (RCHF) is a nonprofit organization incorporated in 1992 established from a partnership among real estate professionals and many other concerned community members of the Bluegrass who have the desire to assist families and individuals – young and old – to live the American dream of owning their own home. Members of this partnership include Realtors®, members of the Remodelers Council of the Home Builders Association of Lexington, businesses, civic clubs, churches, caring individuals, students and educators. By fostering a community commitment, RCHF’s goal is to empower families, strengthen neighborhoods and maximize the economy by opening doors to homeownership for those who might lose, or may not otherwise have, this opportunity.
