RAMP REALTORS® Race for RPAC

Overview


Under the leadership of the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) Chair Robina “Bebe” English, we are launching a “RAMP REALTORS® Race for RPAC” horse race themed event over a six week period.

The competition will encourage brokerages to compete against other brokerages of like sizes through investments in RPAC. The percentage of agents that invest will be the first qualifying criteria for a win. In the event that there is a tie, the collective amount invested will be the tie breaker. Throughout the sweepstakes, the progress of each of our 154 member companies will be promoted through e-mail communications, and visually on this web page.

All will culminate at our annual meeting on September 20, 2012, where the winners will be formally announced and awarded for their support of the RPAC cause.

Program Guidelines

Program Guidelines

Duration: Monday, August 6, 2012 - September 14, 2012 5:00 PM EST 

Goal: Each brokerage will participate against like-sized brokerages to have the highest percentage of investments in RPAC

Races will be bracketed by company size: 
  • Triple Crown Race - Large Company (200 - 600 Agents)
  • Belmont Race - Mid-sized Company (19 - 199 Agents)
  • Preakness Race - Small Company (3 - 18 Agents)
  • Kentucky Derby Race - Individual Company (1-2 Agents)

Guidelines: Make your RPAC Investment online by visiting www.parealtor.org/forms/rpac-investment-form or via mail to RPAC c/o RAMP, 1427 West Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15226 between August 6, 2012 - September 14, 2012 5:00 PM EST. The percentage of contributions from each brokerage will then be tallied by bracket and displayed on www.ramprealtors.com bi-weekly, beginning on August 6, 2012 - and ending on September 17, 2012. 

In the event of a tie in percentage of participation, contributions will be subtotaled and the highest dollar amount of contributions will determine the winner.

Winners from each bracket will be announced and awarded at RAMP’s 2012 Annual Meeting at the Loews Theater in Waterfront on September 20, 2012. The final winners will also be promoted on www.ramprealtors.com after September 24, 2012.

Contributions are not deductible for Federal income tax purposes.   Contributions to RPAC are voluntary and are used for political purposes.  The amount indicated is merely a guideline and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amount.  The Association will not favor or disadvantage anyone by reason of the amount of their contribution, and you may refuse to contribute without reprisal by the Association.  70% of each contribution is used by the State PAC to support state and local political candidates.  The other 30% is sent to National RPAC to support Federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 2 U.S.C. 441a; after the state PAC reaches its RPAC goal it may elect to retain your entire contribution for use in supporting state and local candidates.
