The Hilda J Barbour PTO received a donation last week from local Realtor, Jen Avery, and her buyer Rachel Jackson. The contribution was part of a commission donation program Jen offers to clients who elect to participate. Rachel eagerly nominated the HJB PTO to be the recipient from her closed home sale!
Together Jen and Rachel met the HJB PTO at their monthly meeting and presented the check. After having two children learn and grow at the elementary school, Rachel was more than happy to help contribute to whatever needs the school might have now or in the future.
The momentum of combining community giveback and business does not end with just this check. Rachel’s company has decided to roll out another opportunity for the school to raise some extra funds this year called Quotes for Good – State Farm. When was the last time you had your insurance quoted? Call 540-635-3336 (Aders Insurance Agency, Inc). Be sure to mention Hilda J Barbour Elementary School and the office will make a donation to the PTO. As easy as pie! (just a quote, NO PURCHASE NECESSARY)
