With 20 volunteers covering two locations, the Chicago Association of REALTORS® (CAR) Young Professionals Network raised $416.86 for the Salvation Army during Real Estate Ring Day last Friday.

Volunteers rang bells to encourage shoppers to put money in the Salvation Army kettles at Michigan and Adams and at 410 N. Michigan Ave. Team members also became creative and offered to perform cartwheels, do push-ups and sing holiday carols for larger donations.
