Children's Miracle Network®
Through the charitable efforts of our membership, RE/MAX® has donated over $75 million to Children's Miracle Network®, the nationwide alliance of non-profit hospitals for seriously ill and injured children. As the organization's national real estate sponsor, RE/MAX offices conduct countless fundraising activities including golf tournaments, casino parties, silent auctions, Halloween parties and more on behalf of the designated RE/MAX charity.
RE/MAX North Central agents generated over $429,000 for local children's hospitals in 2006, as 100% of funds raised remain in the local community benefiting the local affiliate hospital. Agents in Minnesota raised over $210,000 and Wisconsin agents were honored for the highest per associate donation in the country with over $218,000 going to their local hospitals.
