Realtors start scholarship fund

Education is one of the greatest investments one can make in any community. RE/MAX Elite's McCoy-Freeman Group announced that they will be pledging a portion of their sales commissions to the McCoy-Freeman Real Estate Scholarship Fund.

For every closed sale in 2008, $25 will go towards the fund which will be awarded to two deserving seniors graduating from Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach High Schools in 2009. Applicants must be pursuing a degree in business management and/or real estate.

Already this year Jennifer McCoy, Bobby & Nikki Freeman have closed 26 transactions and of those 26 transactions $25 of each closed sale has gone to the Children's Miracle Network. Believing so much in giving back what they are so fortunate for, they have decided to donate on more of a local level.

"If every Realtor in Brevard County donated $50 for every closed sale they have made this year, as of 6/16/08 there would be over $140,000 available for charities and scholarships" says the McCoy-Freeman Group.

In addition, the group will continue to donate $25 to the Children's Miracle Network in their client's behalf for every closed sale.

Last year the group spearheaded Total Home Donation which raised over $160,000 for local charities including $3,600 directly donated from the McCoy-Freeman Group to the Children's Miracle Network.

The scholarship program and donations are just one of the many ways that the McCoy-Freeman Group supports their local community. For more information, please contact Bobby Freeman at 321-693-1694
