COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
For some, making it out the door on time is nothing short of a miracle. For others, miracles are life-changing events that alter your life the moment they happen. At RE/MAX, our agents make miracles happen every day, through the sale of every home. Since 1992, RE/MAX agents have raised more than $79 million in Canada for children’s hospitals. What’s more, 100% of all RE/MAX agent donations stay local. In total, RE/MAX has 270 Miracle Offices who have raised over $2,500 each year. We have nearly 7,000 agents participating in the Miracle Home Program, donating an average of $453 each. The Miracle Home Program is more than a way for our agents to give back to their community; it is a way for them to build relationships with an organization that positively impacts children’s lives each and every day. Each year, agents and broker/owners participate in hospital tours, radiothons and telethons, and several fundraising events. Finding a house requires facts and numbers. But helping someone find a home and supporting them through the biggest transaction of their life – that takes kindness. We don’t mess around when it comes to championing our clients, their families and our community.
The most effective fundraising tool is the Miracle Home Program, whereby agents make a contribution to the Children’s Miracle Network with each closed transaction. The program was established as a vehicle for RE/MAX sales associates to give back to the children and families in the communities in which they live and serve. With the contributed funds, affiliated hospitals are able to provide needed medical care and equipment for more than 2.6 million Canadian children each year. Children’s Miracle Network is an international organization wherein 100% of the funds raised stay within their communities.
RE/MAX Professionals is a certified Miracle Office. This designation applies to an office where 100% of the Sales Associates in that office annually contribute a portion of the commissions earned on every transaction they complete during the year. RE/MAX Professionals’ single office at 1601 Buffalo Place was recognized for contributions to the Winnipeg Children’s Hospital over the past years totaling in excess of $800,000.00. Our office’s involvement with the community doesn’t stop with CMN. We also contribute time and a financial commitment to other charities, including the Children’s Wish Foundation, United Way of Winnipeg, the Canadian Cancer Society and The Manitoba Schizophrenia Society. RE/MAX Professionals is proud to support numerous worthwhile causes in Winnipeg. Whether through ongoing support of the Children’s Miracle Network, annual Burgers for Breast Cancer barbecues, or the Children’s Hospital’s annual Teddy Bear’s Picnic, you’ll regularly see our presence at major community events.
