Each quarter we will choose a worthy cause and donate to that program based on the number of homes sold (within that quarter). Our first charity is Water of Life which provides a water purification system to a child and their family that do not have the simplicity of safe drinking water. These systems will provide up to 1 million gallons of safe drinking water to a family in an impoverished area such as Africa.

There are lots of Holiday events that offer FREE Family Fun. Here are some local Tree Lighting events for Raleigh, Durham, Wake Forest, Cary, Apex and surrounding communities.
