Hello again everyone!

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks in Indianapolis and for the Foundation. Not even two weeks ago, through the help of generous donors and corporate partners, we were able to announce the completion of the Building a Living Legacy: Centennial campaign. Announcing that completion with Mayor Ballard and the Super Bowl Host Committee on the day before the NFL Experience opened was truly a thrill, and we received the best media attention for our project to date. (Click here to see media on the press conference)

This week, not only has the city seen an explosion of Super Bowl activity, but REALTORS® from all around the state met at the Marriott downtown for two days – and some of us even caught a glimpse of Eli Manning and the Giants while we were there. As the Foundation Board of Directors met last week, though, we discussed what happens next week and the week after – will there be a let down from post-Super Bowl activity and the closure of our own campaign? How can we as real estate professionals continue the momentum that has been created? There will be no time like right now for good stories about our city. I challenge you with these thoughts:

1. Find a place to participate in the REALTOR® Day of Service on February 29. Click here for information about that day. (PS - We are also still seeking groups to Adopt families on the Near Eastside! Contact Molly Hahn at mollyhahn@realtorfoundation.com for more information.)

2. Use your own marketing campaign to engage your clients or friends in the Hoosier Love contest. What a great way to spread goodwill about the City! Check out www.hoosierlove.com for more details.

3. Attend the Foundation’s grant announcement and donor wall reception on February 23 (5:30 – 7:30 p.m.) to learn more about the 19 organizations we are affecting this year as well as the families we have already helped with Building a Living Legacy.

  Above all, have a Super Week!
