Roots Realty Group to Sponsor Annual Event
NRV CARES, a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to serving Christiansburg and the greater New River Valley, is proud to announce Roots Realty Group as the first Community Champion sponsor for its Annual Event and Auction. This partnership directly supports NRV CARES’ mission to prevent child abuse and neglect, allowing the organization to reach more families and deepen its impact across the region.
For more than forty years, NRV CARES has worked to protect children, prevent abuse, and strengthen families throughout the New River Valley. This mission is made possible by the ongoing dedication of local partners and the generosity of the community.
Now in its 26th year, the Annual Event and Auction stands as a testament to NRV CARES’ enduring commitment to the New River Valley and the families who call it home.
Marilyn Ortega, Executive Director of NRV CARES, says, “Our Annual Event and Auction is our biggest fundraiser, with all proceeds supporting local programs. This event is crucial to keeping our services free for parents, caregivers, and children in the New River Valley. We are grateful to our community partners who share our vision of a thriving community for families and children.
We invite local businesses to stand with us in building a stronger community. Roots Realty Group, as our first Community Champion, reflects a shared commitment to creating a region where every family can thrive. By working together, we can make a lasting difference for children and families throughout the New River Valley.”
Skip Slocum, Principal Broker and Owner of Roots Realty Group, says, “We believe being part of the community means showing up for the organizations doing the most important work. This mission is deeply meaningful, and we felt it was important to support it in a significant way. We are honored to help strengthen awareness and support for an organization making such an important impact in the lives of children and families throughout our region.”
