This is a great program that the Lawrence Board of REALTORS® participates in.
The Lawrence Board of REALTORS® is joining the State and National Associations of REALTORS® in a
project called Suitcases For Kids. The Suitcases For Kids project was created in1995 by a 10-year-old
girl named Aubyn Burnside who learned that the average child in foster care moves three to four times
and traditionally carried his/her personal belongings from home to home in black garbage bags.
The Lawrence Board of REALTORS® is asking for your help to benefit the foster care system in Douglas
and surrounding counties. We have been told that the most functional item is a duffel bag approximately two
feet long, one foot wide, and 1 foot deep when opened. This kind of bag can be collapsed to an inch or two high and will fit easily under a bed.
If you choose, donations of cash may be made, and the LBOR can purchase this kind of duffel bag, in bulk, for approximately $9.00 per bag; certainly a small price for a little dignity and something to call their very own.
Donations may be made at the Lawrence Board of REALTORS®, Member Agencies of the LBOR, the Kaw
Valley Center, and DCCCA.
