Did you know that Re/Max affiliates raised $8.3M for Children's Miracle Netowrk Hospitals in 2020? 

The past year presented plenty of challenges, but RE/MAX affiliates worked hard to help ensure funding for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals was not one of them. Whether it was through socially distanced events or virtual fundraisers, RE/MAX brokers and agents found creative solutions to show their continued support for patients treated at CMN member hospitals – and their families. The result: $8.3 million in 2020 donations.

During the 2021 Re/Max R4 convention, RE/MAX announced that affiliates throughout the U.S. and Canada have now surpassed $170 million in total donations to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals since the charitable partnership began in 1992.
 

Giving and contributing to help others has been a part of my life for a very long time. My theory is that we always need to help those in need. We need to share the good fortune that we have, because others may not be as fortunate. This sharing and giving comes in many different ways. It isn't always monetary.  Here are some ways in which I helped and contributed to different charities over the past several years:

1. My husband and I used to organize a Charity Haunted House few years ago. Originally it started in our own driveway, and grew big enough over the years that we were able to move the event to a city of Toronto building. This lasted about 8 years in total. 
During that time we helped raise funds for; 
  • The Sickkids Foundation
  • PACT Urban Peace Program - helping at risk youth
  • This event allowed us to employ hundreds of volunteers who needed hours to complete either highschool diplomas, or other volunteering needs.
2. Salvation Army - backpack for kids, food drives and other initiatives.


3. Organising Food Drives for the local Food Bank - The Mississauga Food Bank.


4. Helping with donations at Clothing Drive in support of Habitat for Humanity to help build homes for needing families.


Aligning myself with Remax and signing up to be a part of Children's Miracle Network came naturally to me and I am thrilled to be a part of this initiative and continuing doing good for families in need. Support for CMN Hospitals took many forms during the pandemic. Throughout the busy summer selling season, agents continued to make a donations through the Miracle Home Program. In October, agents began purchasing Miracle Masks – designed by CMN Hospitals Miracle Children – to do their part to stop the spread of the coronavirus, raising more than $17,000 for the cause along the way. And in a holiday season like no other, RE/MAX brokers across the country rallied their offices to participate in a virtual toy drive.
