Children's Miracle Network
At RE/MAX®, we believe that serving the communities in which we live and work
allows us to not only contribute to the well-being of our society but to also
be concerned about the outcome of that contribution. This dedication we call
Premiere Community Citizenship. Our commitment as the exclusive real estate
corporate sponsor for the Children's Miracle Network allows us the opportunity
to expand the universal cause of caring for sick children.
The RE/MAX — Children's Miracle Network affiliation began in 1986 when RE/MAX
affiliates in Calgary, Alberta and the Quebec Region started raising funds for
this worthy cause. In 1992, RE/MAX International adopted the Children's Miracle
Network as its official corporate charity. Raising funds for hospitalized children,
to date RE/MAX professionals have collectively contributed over $56 million to the cause.
In Canada, RE/MAX continues to be a strong corporate contributor to the
Children's Miracle Network - $2.5 million in 2004. With funds contributed
by national sponsors like RE/MAX, the affiliated hospitals are able to provide
needed medical care and equipment for more than two million Canadian children
every year.
RE/MAX of Western Canada affiliates
raise funds through community involvement
such as the annual Children's Miracle Network telethon, pancake breakfasts,
golf tournaments, ride-a-thons, walk-a-thons and a myriad of other events.
But the cornerstone of our involvement is the Miracle Home Program whereby a
portion of the sales associate's personal funds from every commission received
are donated to Children's Miracle Network. 100% of their contribution helps sick
children from their community.
RE/MAX chose the Children's Miracle Network as its international charity because ...
The Mission Statement of the Children's Miracle Network, an international
non-profit organization, is to "Generate funds and awareness programs for the
benefit of children served by its associated hospitals". An outstanding cause!
RE/MAX lists and sells homes with the very families whose children have
been served, or may one day be served, by a Children's Miracle Network hospital.
One out of ten children will be treated at a Children's Miracle Network hospital
by the age of 18.
RE/MAX stands for quality service and for caring about the communities where
its Associates live and work. RE/MAX makes the world a better place to live through
Premiere Community Citizenship.
