RE/MAX Associates Donate Record $11.3 Million to Children’s Miracle Network

 Print Article

RISMEDIA, April 27, 2007-Sales associates and offices affiliated with RE/MAX International donated $11.3 million to the Children's Miracle Network in 2006, marking the third straight year the real estate franchise organization had increased its annual giving by $1 million or more, the company announced.

Since RE/MAX became the official real estate sponsor of the Children's Miracle Network in 1992, its affiliates have raised more than $75 million for the charitable cause.

Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, the Children's Miracle Network raises funds for about 170 hospitals in North America. Last year those hospitals provided services to over 17 million children.

Affiliates of RE/MAX raise funds for Children's Miracle Network in different ways. Some agents participate in the Miracle Home Program, through which they donate money to the organization for every real estate transaction closed. Many offices hold fund-raising events, including golf tournaments and auctions. Offices in the RE/MAX system who have 100% agent participation are designated Miracle Offices.

"The partnership between RE/MAX and the Children's Miracle Network has been mutually gratifying," said Carolynn Bond, director of Community Affairs for RE/MAX International. "It offers the opportunity for our sale associates to help a great cause and to connect it to their business and their clients. It's a great way to give back to the communities our associates serve, because all Children's Miracle Network dollars go to the Children's Miracle Network hospitals serving the community where the funds were raised."

RE/MAX has about 120,000 sales associates worldwide, working out of offices in more than 65 countries.
