The Women’s Council of Realtors raised $4,250 during their first fundraiser of the year.

“We are thrilled to raise that much,” said Sherry Gilliam, the co-chair of the event. “We have never raised this much in one night.”

The “Wine, Dine and Design” event brought out local Realtors for one night to showcase home and office vignettes throughout the Robb & Stucky Interiors showroom.

“Robb & Stucky has a Realtors referral program so this gives us a chance to get the word out and help the WCR raise money,” said Ashley Murphy, marketing coordinator for Robb & Stucky Interiors.

During the evening, local Realtors and designers chatted and raised money to educate local Realtors by participating in a variety of raffles and giveaways.

“We have all sorts of giveaways from botox to a resort getaway and gift certificates from area businesses,” said Gilliam, of the group that has been around for more than 3€ years. “It’s a great night to take in the ambience of the spaces and enjoy some wine while raising money.”
