At Atlantic Realty, we are very grateful for our guests who
come every year for their OBX Vacations. We work hard to make sure that they enjoy
their time in our paradise so that they look forward to coming back year after
year. Since we are fortunate to reap the
rewards that come with working in the tourism industry, it is important for us
to take time to give back to the community.
While we participate individually with organizations, Atlantic Realty,
as a group, also enjoy contributing time and effort to working with local causes
that help our neighbors, the residents of the Outer Banks.
With the holidays upon us, a program near and dear to our
hearts is the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Christmas Drive. This longstanding and successful program
provides 1,300 Angels located at businesses throughout the eight-county area of
northeast North Carolina. Like many
other area businesses, we fulfill the wish lists of 12 Angels who need proof
that Christmas can be a magic time. The
Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Christmas Drive is definitely a worthwhile cause
and we are thrilled to be part of it.
Another campaign which truly affects us is the North
Carolina “Big Sweep” which is a huge statewide undertaking to keep the state’s
beachesclean. Locally, we sponsor and
volunteer by working with others one day after the summer season ends to clean
up Dare County beaches so that they remain as beautiful and pristine as they
always havebeen. Because so many of our OBX Vacation Home are located on the
beach, it is very important for us to be part of this massive undertaking and
do our part. Not only do we work hard, we
have the opportunity to meet like-minded local people and make new friendshipstoo.
We also take great pride in participatinginthe “Get Pinked”
campaign to raise money to ensure that local residents have access to
mammograms and other cancer screening procedures that mightnot be performed due
to the cost. In the past, we have held a
raffle for a free weekend at one of our OBX vacation homes, sold pink
ribbon/bracelets, held bake sales and more.
All proceeds raised through this program stay on the Outer Banks and
used bylocal residents.
Myra Ladd-Bone, Owner and President of Atlantic Realty, is
an advocate for helping those in need in our close-knit community. She believes that “it is important for us to
do our part to support local organizations who strive to make the area a great
place and provide programs and services to local residents.”
Check out these local projects and others throughout the
region to do your part in giving back. You will truly get more than you give when you participate in
these worthwhile programs.
