REAL Magazine And Philanthropy

REAL Cares

REAL Magazine was founded with a mission to “give back” to our community.  Each month we highlight a charity or community asset, at no charge to the organization, to heighten awareness in the area.  With the continual evolution of technology we are now taking our initiative beyond just posting the stories online with links to the associated web sites.  Now snapping Microsoft TAG technology we bring the option to become a part of and support these institutions directly to your cell phone. 

Help us help them.  It’s in all of our best interest. REAL Cares!
