Real Estate Round-Up: Who wants a free vacation on me?

Yup, you read that right. We’re ramping up for our fourth annual charity event at the Pala Mesa Resort May 25 for the Fallbrook Food Pantry. So, here’s the deal. We’re stepping up our game and challenging you to help us raise $100,000 this year.

The first person to pony up for a $5,000 sponsorship (a great tax deduction, I might add) will get a free week vacation* on Murphy & Murphy Southern California Realty. Choose your destination through RCI, one of the world’s leading property exchange companies. Hawaii? Palm Springs? Mexico? African Safari? Your choice.

Guess who else thinks this cause is worthy of time and money? Sammy Hagar. That’s right, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Red Rocker donates money to the nearest food pantry at every venue he plays. He happens to be playing Pala Casino May 19 and will be presenting a check to our friends at the Food Pantry that night. If it’s important enough for Sammy Hagar, shouldn’t it be important enough for all of us?

Let’s rally behind our friends who sometimes work multiple jobs, have gone through hard times and are trying their hardest to stay afloat – “Because when you are hungry, nothing else matters.” This is Fallbrook Food Pantry’s mantra, and just sit with that one for a moment. Think about how easy this problem is solved with those of us most fortunate to give:

● $500 feeds a family of three for one year

● $3,000 feeds six families of five for a year

● $5,000 takes care of the pantry’s vehicle costs for a year

● $20,000 buys a new, much-needed forklift to streamline operations

Can’t do $5,000? No problem. Join the party by buying a ‘Noonan’ sponsorship for 10 at $3,000, a foursome (our economical $500 ‘Greenskeeper’ package) or VIP dinner tickets (just $100 each).

There’s a way for everyone to get in the game, and with this year’s event rolling with a “Caddyshack” theme, held at the ‘Bushwood Country Club,’ this is a North County charity event not to be missed.

We’ve got golf (if you choose) on Pala Mesa’s serene yet challenging pro course, an Americana menu, Caddyshack-themed craft cocktails, flowing bar, a killer auctioneer and live auction, silent auction, surprise guests, music, silly games and lots of laughter. Dig out your Caddyshack duds and go to http://www.murphy-realty.com/give for details on golf, dinner, sponsorship opportunities and more.

First one to call me with a $5,000 sponsorship gets a free week’s vacation!* (760) 415-9292.
