Young Professionals Network
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS NETWORK Benefits of Joining the YPN
One of the reasons I joined RASM’s Young Professionals Network was the high level of community involvement at the core of the organization.
People often hear “Young Professionals Networking,” and think only of happy hours, trade shows, and activities for Millennials and Gen Zers. What most people don’t realize is while yes, many of the events we host are social gatherings, educational events, and engaging activities, we also offer fundraisers that support local causes!
To kick off 2020, we hosted a Putt-Putt Pour MiniGolf Tournament at Evie’s on the Range, which raised over $5,200 for the RASM Scholarship Fund. Every year, RASM awards scholarships ($2,000 each) to deserving students in the Sarasota and Manatee area, as selected by the RASM Scholarship Committee. We are helping to further the education of local students while enjoying time with local Business Partners. But the kids aren’t the only ones we help with our YPN events! This April, we are hosting our annual Lip Sync Battle at McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre. The past three years, we have supported Heroes Welcome Home. HWH is a non-profit organization that offers our local veterans financial assistance during the home-buying process, rental and utility deposits, and repair and maintenance on a veteran-owned home! We started this event three years ago and since then have raised more than $15,000 for Heroes Welcome Home! Please consider joining us on April 28 to raise more money for a local charity. You don’t have to perform to support us, although we’d love to have some new faces up on stage this year.
Stay tuned for more details about our summer anniversary party. In the last couple of years, we’ve collected food for different food banks to support local hungry families!
So next time you see the calendar of events from RASM, consider joining YPN for some of the fundraising events we host! You’ll find yourself having more fun than you anticipated and feeling even more connected to the Suncoast as you inadvertently give back to your community. After all, isn’t that what life is all about–having fun and giving back? • By: Hannah Veitkus, Realtor® Wagner Realty
