Three Cheers for Our Favorite Dancing Real Estate Agent!!
Our very own, multi-talented, Missy Ward danced the night away for a great cause in this year’s Dancing With the Lexington Stars event! DWLS describes their event as…
An exciting competition which pairs local celebrities with professional dancers in support of two wonderful charities. All proceeds from this event will once again benefit Surgery On Sunday, Inc. & the Lexington Rotary Club Endowment Fund.
Each contestant works to garner votes in their favor. Every community member can vote as often as they wish, and each vote costs $5. All proceeds go toward Surgery on Sunday, Inc. and the Lexington Rotary Club Endowmen Fund.
“Surgery on Sunday, Inc. works closely with community partners to provide essential outpatient surgical procedures to income-eligible individuals. Patients are referred to Surgery on Sunday, Inc. by numerous partner agencies,” states the Surgery on Sunday website. This important group helps to provide expensive surgery and procedures to patients who may not have the income to cover the costs that their insurance won’t cover.
The Lexington Rotary Club Endowment Fund, which receives a smaller portion of the donations from the event, goes to many different philanthropic endeavors and charities throughout the area. Their missions statement is…
The Lexington Rotary Club Endowment is the entity through which the Rotary Club of Lexington carries out its philanthropic activities without regard to race, creed, color, sex, nationality or age.
It is established to receive and disburse funds in support of the vocational, community and international avenues of Rotary Service.
The Endowment Fund in providing partial funding and implementation of these philanthropic activities will directly serve young people, aged and disadvantaged persons and other groups.
Missy Ward and her partner, Paul Bernstein, helped to raise over $3,000!!!
And with all that going on for Missy this weekend, she still helped her clients close a transaction yesterday! Now that’s dedication!!
