A Nation Wide Tradition of Giving

Each year NextHome's across the country serve their local areas and the two-legged and four-legged friends that live there. In honor of Luke's birthday, June 15th is NexHome Fredrickson Real Estate annual day of community outreach in Williston.

In past years, local residents enjoyed the tradition of paying to have "little orange Luke figures" placed in a friend's yard, along with a sign that read, "You've Been Luked!!" The "victim" would then donate to have them moved to someone else's yard.
