After a long, cold Winter, she has left her stable; RAPV is proud to introduce Starr, our 2026 Mascot and the beloved winner of Pet-A-Palooza 2025! At just two years old, Starr has already shown a remarkable gift for connecting with neurodiverse children—bringing comfort, calm, and joy to those she meets. She proudly follows in the hoofprints of her 26-year-old sister, Lena, whose lifelong work has supported neurodiverse children and veterans. As RAPV’s official 2026 mascot, Starr represents the heart of our membership: compassion, community, and a commitment to making a difference. Throughout the year, you’ll see Starr supporting REALTOR® advocacy efforts and helping raise awareness for the REALTOR® Political Action Campaign (RPAC), which works to protect homeownership and property rights across Massachusetts. Thank you to everyone who participated in Pet-A-Palooza 2025—your support not only crowned Starr as our mascot, but also helps fund critical housing advocacy efforts across the state. Since we can't bring Starr to live at our new office, Cartoon Starr has agreed to be her stand-in. Keep an eye out for "Starr Says" in our emails and marketing- she's finally thawed, and she's just getting started! |
