On Wednesday, September 23, members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR) will hold “REALTORS® Honor Veterans,” from 4-8:00 p.m. at the Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club, 3000 Alexis Dr, Palo Alto. This event will be an evening of connecting with colleagues, enjoying tasty food, beverages and live music, while bidding on fabulous items at our live and silent auctions. All proceeds from this event will go to the SILVAR Veterans Scholarship Fund
Planning for this event began already in the spring with SILVAR’s Membership Committee, its five Districts and professional Affiliates, the Silicon Valley YPN Chapter and the Charitable Foundation Trust joining together to make this fundraising event a success and an incredibly exciting experience for everyone.
The SILVAR Veterans Scholarship Fund is a new component of the Silicon Valley REALTORS® Charitable Foundation’s focus on education. The scholarship fund will support eligible U.S. veterans and eligible dependents of deceased veterans residing in SILVAR’s traditional service area who wish to further their education. SILVAR’s Charitable Foundation will join in partnership with area schools, like Foothill College, West Valley College, De Anza College, Cañada College and Menlo College.
The scholarship program is SILVAR’s way of supporting our veterans, to thank them for their brave and invaluable service to our country, and to help them be successful. With SILVAR membership support, we will be able to assist our veterans in achieving their education goals.
The Silicon Valley REALTORS® Charitable Foundation focuses on helping others through grants for housing, education and youth. SILVAR members want to make a big difference in people’s lives throughout our SILVAR communities.
