MARQUETTE -- Upper Peninsula REALTORS® has recognized Andi Goriesky for her nomination for the 2026 Michigan REALTORS® Good Neighbor Award, honoring her longtime community service through the Marquette Haunted Hayride.

Goriesky was recognized as a Good Neighbor Award nominee during Michigan REALTORS® The Convention 2026, held Sept. 30-Oct. 2 at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa in downstate Acme.

For nearly two decades, Goriesky has dedicated countless volunteer hours to the Marquette Haunted Hayride, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has grown from a family tradition into a beloved community event. Since 2008, the organization has raised more than $1 million for local groups and causes.

"Andi's nomination at the state level is something our entire association is incredibly proud of," said Ben Argall, president of Upper Peninsula REALTORS®. "The time, energy and heart she has given to the Marquette Haunted Hayride is remarkable. Our community is fortunate to have someone like Andi who continues to give so much to others."

In 2025, Upper Peninsula REALTORS® honored Goriesky with its Community Service Award in recognition of her local impact. Her nomination for the Michigan REALTORS® Good Neighbor Award brought that work to the attention of REALTORS® from throughout the state.

The Michigan REALTORS® Good Neighbor Award recognizes REALTORS® for exceptional volunteer and charitable service in their communities.

Upper Peninsula REALTORS® congratulates Andi Goriesky on this well-deserved recognition and thanks her for the lasting difference she continues to make in the community.
