It’s been 20 years since the REALTORS® Relief Foundation, which provides critical funding for disaster victims, was launched in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York. NAR President Charlie Oppler says in the third installment of his fireside chat-style video series that the foundation’s mission today is more necessary than ever. Intensifying catastrophes like the record-breaking California wildfires and Hurricane Ida, which caused devastating floods and widespread property damage in the South and Northeast, demonstrate the growing need for recovery resources. Oppler discusses in the video above how REALTORS® can help the RRF reach its annual fundraising goal of $8.5 million, especially during its 20th anniversary commemorative event this Friday.
