The winners will be featured on the cover of REALTOR Magazine’s November/December issue, and will be honored at the REALTORS Conference & Expo in San Diego. Winners receive $10,000 grants for their charities.

Helen’s charity is Cape Fear Guardian Ad Litem Association. Helen has been a court-appointed advocate for more than 152 abused, neglected and abandoned children during the past 10 years. She serves as the voice of the child in family court, helping judges make life-changing decisions on behalf of children in the foster care system by recommending a permanent plan for each child; either reuniting a child with parents, placing with relatives or another caregiver, or making available for adoption. Helen has contributed to many successful outcomes by getting to know each child and fulfilling his or her individual needs, whether that means obtaining high-quality medical care for a disabled child or locating an abandoned child’s long-lost relatives by scouring phone books and cemetery records.
