“Century 21 Vista’s community wide fundraising effort will exceed $10,000.” according to Alan Olson, Broker of Century 21 Vista and Lt. Linda McCormick of the Salvation Army.

Olson added “only through the efforts of Century 21 Vista’s “Community Partners” could this dream have become a reality.

Most importantly, 100 percent of all donations will be directed to Hurricane Sandy victims through our fiscal host and partner, the Salvation Army of Fergus Falls. Cash donations will be accepted through early December.

For those who were unable to participate earlier, we invite you to consider support of this fundraiser with a tax deductible gift this holiday season. Checks can be made payable to The Salvation Army – Hurricane Sandy Benefit” and mail to Century 21 Vista, 405 W Lincoln, Fergus Falls, MN 56537.
