100% of the contributions to the Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation are invested in programs in Lawrence & Douglas County for programs that help to stabilize housing and households that are in jeopardy and need a little help.
The Lawernce Board of REALTORS® pays all expenses and overhead so that all event proceeds go to work in our community.
