RPAC Derby Horse "REO Speedwagon"Here’s a FUN way to fundraise for RPAC at your local association or real estate office....

Follow the lead of REALTOR® Karen Robertson who collected $20 per business card and stapled them all to her horse “REO” who raced in the 2012 Stick Horse Derby. We’re calling it the “Pony Up for RPAC” Challenge - a great way to increase RPAC participation at the association or real estate office. Karen raised $1,700 for RPAC with her “Pony Up for RPAC” Stick Horse Challenge!
