JOE BAKER AWARD

‘The Joseph E. Baker Humanitarian Award’: Established in 2008 to honor REALTOR® Joe Baker’s. Only those very close to Joe knew that he volunteered his time and money to #AngelFlights. He died doing what he loved, but more importantly, doing a selfless act for others. The award was created to keep Joe’s memory alive while recognizing other members that are also giving back without thought for themselves. There are Angels among us that give of their time and money quietly without promoting themselves for selfish reasons.
