The Real Estate Council?s 29 members of the Associate Leadership Council selected Promise House in Oak Cliff as its class project and has given more than 2,000 volunteer hours to help the organization with project planning, moving, painting, carpeting, construction, site clean-up, and landscaping. It's part of a renovation and expansion of what was formerly the organization's second floor 2,000 SF storage facility (now a multipurpose room for clients). Additionally, the TREC Foundation gave a $40k grant, Frost Bank gave a $5k grant, and more funding was raised through raffle sales and in-kind donations for a total value of more than $120k in financial and in-kind contributions. The non-profit Promise House serves at-risk youth. And, if you look closely, you'll see a fierce game of rock, paper, scissors going on. |
