In the world of real estate, partnerships and community support are integral to success. One such shining example of community commitment is Retirement Unlimited Inc. (RUI), and its very own Roanoke-based community, Woodland Hills. This community not only specializes in providing exceptional senior living but also actively contributes to their community. We're delighted to share our appreciation for RUI as they proudly sponsored the MKB Realtors 50th Anniversary Renovation Alliance Benefit Gala in November 2023.
RUI is not just a name in the senior living industry; it's a symbol of community care and commitment. Their sponsorship of the MKB Realtors 50th Anniversary Renovation Alliance Benefit Gala was a testament to their dedication to community support.

2023 marks MKB's 50th anniversary. Throughout this year, MKB has made significant efforts to expand our support of the community that has shown us its support for 50 years. We are committed to giving back at least $50,000 to local charities. Our agents are stepping up to contribute 50 hours of time in volunteer efforts – with over 200 agents, this is more than 10,000 volunteer hours.
As a culmination of this effort, we are hosting a first-of-its-kind benefit gala at Hotel Roanoke on Friday, November 3rd, and YOU are invited! MKB is honored to partner with Renovation Alliance for this charitable event as we believe homeownership is a bedrock of building and sustaining healthy, safe communities.
As a RA Board Member, I can attest to the critical work RA does for some of our area's most vulnerable citizens. Proceeds from the Gala will go directly to RA to fund free home repairs for low income homeowners living right here in the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas. Renovation Alliance has been in existence for nearly 25 years, and, as MKB, is committed to providing the community with more than shelter – their efforts allow families and individuals to enjoy owning, living in, and thriving in a home that is their own. A home that is warm, safe, and dry.
Please join us at our Celebration Gala! Tickets will be sold for $150.00 each, and all proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to supporting Renovation Alliance. Each purchase will be tax deductible.
