Davidson Realty is Working with The Northeast Florida Builders Association to Market Two Affordable Jacksonville Homes Recently Renovated as Part of NEFBA’s Annual President’s Project

Posted by Caryn Best in Community Involvement, News

Academy-1Davidson Realty is honored to be chosen by the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA) to market two affordable single-family homes recently renovated by NEFBA as part of its community-focused President’s Project.  The homes, which are part of Jacksonville’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program, are being offered for $85,000 and $110,000 respectively and buyers may qualify for up to $40,000 in down payment assistance. Qualified buyers may purchase one of these homes for $500 down.

 The refurbishment of the homes was lead by NEFBA President Michael Bourré and his company Bourré Construction Group. “Given the current economic and market conditions, we wanted to support efforts to help existing neighborhoods right here in Jacksonville that were hit especially hard with foreclosures and neglect,” said  Bourré.  “This is the first time the annual NEFBA President’s Project has renovated an existing home rather than build new and the response has been very positive.” The annual NEFBA President’s Project is an opportunity for the group to both give back to the community and raise funds for its own educational and growth efforts.

Hat’s off to Davidson Realty Agent Anna Decker who has been asked to join the board at St. Francis House, the St. Augustine-based soup kitchen and shelter.  “We’re so proud to have  Anna on our team.  She just moved to the area 18 months ago, she started a new career with us in real estate and she immediately began volunteering in the community,” said Sherry Davidson. “Her energy and compassion are off-the-charts.”

Anna served as event coordinator for the St. Francis House Night at the Races in April 2010, a successful event and fundraiser for the charity. Renee Morris, director of the St. Francis House, welcomed Decker to the board.  “Anna is an amazing fundraiser, organizer and we welcome her energy, passion, professionalism and ability to raise public awareness and funds for the St. Francis House. Anna brings experience and compassion and we’re confident she can help us in our continuing efforts to expand and build desperately needed housing and facilities for the growing need in our community,” said Morris.

Davidson Does Baskets & Blooms!

Posted by Kristen Calhoun in Community Involvement, Events

DSC04717Last night, the Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village hosted Baskets & Blooms, an annual tri-school fundraiser for Mill Creek Elementary, Wards Creek Elementary and Pacetti Bay Middle School. In the three schools, each classroom donated a basket worth $100. Each school donated a basket worth $500. The PTO and PTSO collected donated items to raffle from Orlando all the way to Georgia.

DSC04705As a way to help the schools, Davidson Realty worked with a few of our World Golf Village businesses to put together a basket to be raffled at the event.  We named the basket “Spoil Me in WGV”. Honours Golf donated a foursome of golf at Slammer & Squire. Spa Laterra donated the Revitalization Spa package to pamper the winner with a pedicure, manicure and facial. If that wasn’t enough “spoiling”, our basket contained 4 IMAX tickets and 4 putting, Hall of Fame and Challenge Hole passes. The Village Chiropractic Center donated a one hour massage. Murray Bros Caddyshack gave a gift certificate, too. Davidson Realty donated Neighbhorhood of World Golf Village wine glasses and a tote bag. Thank you so much to the businesses that helped us raise money for the schools!

DSC04711Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson joined agents and staff for a chance to win one of the many fabulous baskets at the event. The baskets ranged from Disney and Universal passes, golf and spa packages, patio furniture worth $7,000, beach baskets, pamper me packages, bundle of joy packages, etc! Talk about one of the social events of the year; it was soooo much fun! Mostly women attended, but there were a few ladies that brought their men (probably to carry all their baskets to the car!) It was such a wonderful evening. The Renaissance did a great job hosting the event. The food and service were awesome. Several Nease High School students volunteered to be the “basket runners.” The PTO and PTSO did an amazing job at making this event such a success! Way to go Ladies!!!

If you missed Baskets & Blooms this year, make sure you make it to next years. The night was a 10 for sure!!!

Relay for Life Video: Surfin’ for a Cure in World Golf Village!

Posted by Peyton Davidson in Community Involvement, Videos

relay teamI can’t believe it came and went so quickly! We had a blast on Davidson’s Island – even though we were walking in 97 degree heat! Jim Davidson, President of Davidson Development, brought enough food for 200 people and Davidson agents and staff came out to walk for a great cause. We raised close to $2,500 this year, so THANK YOU to everyone who supported our team!survivor lap

Our two cancer survivors – Roberta Hicks and Davidson Agent Jock Ochiltree participated in the Survivor Lap to kick off the race at noon. It was very emotional to see all the survivors walking the first lap together. It gives me goose bumps writing about it now! 

jock robertaRelay for Life is all about the effort to create more birthdays – celebrate, remember, fight back. The American Cancer Society did a wonderful job organizing the event and people were laughing, playing, and having a great time. We were surrounded by energy and fun! They had bands play, a 6 year old Elvis impersonator, a DJ, belly dancers, and a scavenger hunt. Teams were selling everything from cake pops to full meals. There were chance drawings for awesome gift certificates everywhere you looked!luminarias

Around 9 pm, the American Cancer Society committee members lined the track with luminarias with names of those that lost their battle with cancer. It was very hard to take that lap as a team, but it gives you hope that one day people will not have to hear those dreadful words “you have cancer” any more.

World Golf Village’s Relay for Life exceeded their financial goal with $45,000 raised and we know next year will be even better! Please enjoy the video of our 18 hour journey at Relay for Life.
