Ruth and Ken Mares

Ruth Mares, left, and Ken Mares, right, present a check to Sharon Caballero, executive director of the Highlands University Foundation. The $500 check from the Las Vegas Board of Realtors Community Fund benefits the Territorial Title Endowed Scholarship that the Mares’ established at Highlands in 1997, the year after they purchased the title company. The local realtors donate money from each closing to their community fund and the Mares’ match each contribution. Over the years, the Las Vegas Board of Realtors Community Fund has donated money every quarter to worthy local organizations. A few examples include the Samaritan House, Habitat for Humanity, and Red Cross. Jeff Salman, owner and broker of NM 360° Real Estate, is chairman of the Las Vegas Board of Realtors Community Fund.
