Children's Miracle Network and the
RE/MAX organization match every bit as closely as their exuberant
hot air balloon logos. Since RE/MAX became CMN's exclusive real
estate sponsor in 1992, RE/MAX Associates have raised more than
$38 million for the charity, making them the second largest sponsor.
Since I joined RE/MAX Realty Select in 1993, I have donated
a portion of every single transaction to Children's Miracle
Network.
Founded in 1983, CMN generates
health-care funds, research funds and awareness programs for the benefit of
children. The nonprofit organization's 170 participating hospitals
across North America help 17 million children annually. In
Naples, our donations go through Children's Miracle Network and directly to:
The Children's Hospital - Southwest
Florida
9981 Health Park Circle; Ft. Myers, FL
33908
RE/MAX Associates raise funds for CMN
in a variety of ways:
- Pledging a contribution derived
from each transaction involving a RE/MAX Miracle Home. The
Miracle Home® program generates the most donations. A Miracle
Home creates an opportunity for the Sales Associate to make a
pledge to his or her local Children's Miracle Network member
hospital when that particular home is listed or sold.
- Staging fund-raising events - from
parking-lot flea markets to minnow racing.
- Handling the phones at CMN's annual
television fund raising, the largest of its kind in the world.
