UNITED COUNTRY RAISES $24,000 FOR VETRANS AT ANNUAL CONVENTION
United Country Real Estate raised $24,000 for the Carrington Charitable Foundation during a live auction event at their annual Training and Awards
Convention March 13. They hosted nationally known singer and painter Joe Everson, who has gone viral after
singing the National Anthem while painting live-action artwork.
Everson performed live during the banquet portion of the convention,
singing America the Beautiful while painting a patriotic portrait of the
American Flag. He also brought along a painting he already made that
represented all five branches of the military.
As the largest integrated group of traditional and auction real estate
professionals nationwide, United Country had professional auctioneers on deck
to conduct a live, on-the-spot auction for both of the paintings. There was a
heated bidding war in the event, to which Everson offered to draw a third
painting to auction. The three paintings generated $24,000 for the Carrington
Foundation thanks to generous United Country affiliates. The money will help
veterans with mobility, prosperity, stability and purpose.
“United Country auctioneers have a vested interest in utilizing their
bid calling craft to support important charitable and philanthropic
organizations,” said Shawn Terrel, president of United Country Auction
Services. “The professional auction industry has a passion for the benefit and
charity sector and our company is uniquely positioned to dramatically affect
change in the world through our massive network of thousands of auctioneers and
real estate brokers. As a military veteran and an auction industry leader, I am
personally committed to leveraging our company’s auction expertise to raise
both awareness and funding needed in support of important causes like our armed
forces and those that have served this country.”
