The 6th Annual North Division Open Arms Online Silent Auction was held in November. Properties across the division partnered with vendors to collect donations for the auction. Auction items included a stay at MAA River North in Denver, CO, a Nespresso machine, Amazon Gift Cards, a patio heater, Solo Stove, an electric guitar & amp, a Blackstone Grill and much more! A huge thank you is due to MAA teams all throughout the North Division for participating by gathering auction item donations, and in doing so helping to raise nearly $7,000 for Open Arms!

ONE CAUSE TWO TOURNAMENTS The 9th Annual Open Arms Corn Hole Tournament in Charlotte, NC, and the 4th Annual Charleston Corn Hole Tournament also scored big wins for the Open Arms Foundation in 2025. Sponsorship of these events came with an opportunity for a sponsor team, which competed at local restaurants in both cities. As bags flew towards the boards, everyone enjoyed coming together for a good cause. Both tournaments raised around $25,000 each for Open Arms. Perfect score! Organizer Rebecca Kauffman, MAA Regional Property Manager led the efforts in the Charlotte area, while Nikki Boerst, MAA Regional Property Manager, headed up the event team in Charleston, SC. Both events took months of planning and help from other MAA volunteers.
