Children's
Miracle Network
The
tremendous success of the RE/MAX organization has trickled back into many North
American communities thanks to the generosity of RE/MAX Sales Representatives,
Broker/Owners and support staff. Driven by the desire to raise funds for research
into childhood diseases, RE/MAX Sales Representatives
have to-date contributed more than $18 million dollars to the Children's Miracle
Network (CMN).
Since 1992, thousands of RE/MAX Sales Representatives
have taken to the streets to raise the dollars necessary to research, diagnose,
and treat a variety of childrens disorders through the Children's Miracle Network.
The Children's Miracle Network, a North American fund-raising organization,
supports more than 170 hospitals, including The Hospital for Sick Children,
Toronto, the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO),
Ottawa, the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario, London,
the IWK-Grace Health Centre, Halifax, and the Janeway's
Children's Hospital, Newfoundland. CMN hospitals serve over
2 million children each year in Canada.
RE/MAX
Canada contributes more than $1 million every year to Children's Hospitals.
Although one of the most successful CMN fundraising efforts is RE/MAX's Miracle Home Program, whereby Sales Representatives participating in the program donate a portion of
their commission earned from every home they sell,
the Miracle Home Program is just one example of RE/MAX's dedication to the cause.
Recent
local events showcasing RE/MAX commitment in Ontario-Atlantic Canada includes
casino fun nights, pancake breakfasts, snowmobile races, Holloween parties,
golf tournaments, boat cruises, sales representatives waiting tables in various
restaurants and donating their tips, and last, but certainly not least lip sync
evenings.
One hundred percent
of the local contributions remain in the communities in which they were raised
to benefit participating children's hospitals.
Our
efforts, on behalf of the children, span the entire RE/MAX organization. We
extend our heartfelt appreciation to the thousands of RE/MAX customers who have
joined our fundraising efforts by participating in the Miracle Home Program.
Our partnership with
the Children's Miracle Network is indicative of the deep commitment that RE/MAX
brings to the communities it serves.

Dear Marion:
Please know how much we appreciate your support of Children's Miracle Network.
Your generous contributions help children right in your community recover from
every kind of illness, disease, accident and ailment imaginable and provides
valuable resources that would otherwise not be available.
When we created Children's Miracle Network 20 years ago, we never dreamed it
would become what it is today. We knew back then we would get some big companies
to write corporate contribution cheques, but we did not count on the fact that
individuals like you would become so passionate and actively involved. It's
people like you who helped us raise $250 million last year to benefit 17 million
children across North America.
One hundred percent of the funds you contribute are directed to the Children's
Miracle Network hospital in your area. You are making a significant difference
in the quality of health care for the children in your community, and we are
grateful for your generosity.
RE/MAX generated more than $6 million in 2001 to support Children's Miracle
Network hospitals and has contributed $38 million since the inception of the
RE/MAX Miracle Home program 10 years ago. That is a lot of miracles!
We sincerely thank tou,
Marie Osmond
