Celebrating the success of the Royal LePage Wildrose Real Estate Radiothon for Shelter are, from L-R: Bob Phillips, Joe Carignan (president, Mountainview Emergency Shelter Services), Clare Dickie (owner/manager, Royal LePage Wildrose Real Estate), Merrell Dickie (broker/owner, Royal LePage Wildrose Real Estate), Carol and Bill Johnston.

Royal LePage Wildrose Real Estate in Olds, AB recently raised $42,182 in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation via their second annual Radiothon, generously hosted by local station 96.5 ckfm All Hit Country. 100 per cent of proceeds were directed to the Mountain View Emergency Shelter Society to help construct a building and expand their services to women and families seeking safety from domestic violence in the area. 

In just two years, this event has raised over $80,000 for the cause, as well as considerable local awareness surrounding violence against women. 

“Watching the fundraising barometer rise over the course of our big day was truly thrilling,” said Royal LePage Wildrose Real Estate owner/manager, Clare Dickie. “Once again our community has shown us their deeply generous and heartfelt support.”
