The National Association of Realtors announced Jeff Fields, with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty in Scottsdale, as one of its five 2020 Good Neighbor Award winners.
As a volunteer and past board president of nonprofit Teen Lifeline, Mr. Fields has served more than 28,000 youth through a peer-to-peer teen crisis hotline while providing community education on suicide prevention, according to a press release.
With the award, he will receive a $10,000 grant for his charity and will be featured in the November-December issue of Realtor Magazine.
In lieu of the traditional ceremony held every year at the Realtors Conference and Expo, Mr. Fields will be honored by the Scottsdale Area Association of Realtors, the release said, adding Mr. Fields became passionate about saving teens from what he calls “the most preventable death” after losing several friends to suicide.
“I am proud to honor Jeff Fields for dedicating his time and passion to giving hope to teens who had none,” said NAR President Vince Malta, broker at Malta & Co. Inc., in San Francisco, commending the winners in a prepared statement.
NAR’s Good Neighbor Awards honor 10 Realtors annually for impacating communities through volunteer work. For the past 21 years, the Good Neighbor Awards program has awarded nearly $1.4 million in grants to more than 200 Realtor-led nonprofits, reaching 40 states, 15 countries and in Puerto Rico.
NAR’s Good Neighbor Awards program is supported by primary sponsor realtor.com and Wells Fargo. Nominees, who are NAR members in good standing, were judged on personal investment of time along with financial and material contributions to benefit their cause.
“In an extraordinary year, these Realtors inspire us to care about others and contribute to making our communities a better place,” said realtor.com CMO Mickey Neuberger in a prepared statement, congratulating recipients.
The National Association of Realtors is noted as America’s largest trade association, representing more than 1.4 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.
