SALT LAKE CITY, March 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Every minute, 62
children enter a Children's Miracle Network Hospital for treatment;
every 30 seconds, a RE/MAX agent helps someone find their perfect
place. Last year, RE/MAX Affiliates in the U.S. and
Canada donated more than
$10.8 million to 170 local CMN
Hospitals through the Miracle Home and Miracle Property
programs.
Since 1992, RE/MAX agents and brokers have invested in the
wellbeing of their local communities by raising more than
$167 million for 170 member
hospitals. Each donation helps fund pediatric medical equipment and
treatments, as well as other healthcare services for local CMN
hospitals. As the contributions continue to grow, RE/MAX Associates
are able to aid a larger number of sick and injured children.
"We're thrilled with the continued support and dedication of
the RE/MAX network," says John
Lauck, President and CEO of Children's Miracle Network
Hospitals. "RE/MAX affiliates are exceptional because many of them
incorporate the spirit of giving into each business transaction and
office event, raising funds year-round. These efforts help 10
million kids each year and fund critical care and treatments at
local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals."
Through the Miracle Home and Miracle Property programs, RE/MAX
agents can market each residential or commercial listing as a
Miracle Home or Miracle Property, and make a donation to CMN
Hospitals after each closed transaction on behalf of their client.
These programs and the relationship between RE/MAX and CMN
Hospitals assist sick and injured children throughout the entire
year.
In addition to participating in the Miracle Home and Miracle
Property programs, RE/MAX offices and agents raise funds through
golf tournaments, benefit dinners, auctions and other community
fundraisers. Many agents also visit children's hospitals and
volunteer to further support the cause.
"RE/MAX agents are the most generous people I know, and
understand the importance of supporting the children who are
treated at member hospitals," says Mike Reagan, RE/MAX Senior Vice
President, Business Alliances. "When agents meet a Miracle Child whose life has been improved by
the amazing work happening at local hospitals, they realize they're
part of that child's story. That's the magic of the Miracle Home
and Miracle Property programs."
The extraordinary support and donations from RE/MAX Affiliates
help kids like this year's Miracle
Child Carson Cline, who at
six-days-old, suffered a brain bleed that affected both sides of
his brain. He was born at just under 26 weeks, weighing only one
pound 12 ounces and 13 months later was diagnosed with cerebral
palsy. With 25 percent of the right side of his brain no longer
working, and the left side covered in scar tissue from the bleed,
Carson needed multiple surgeries, including one that threatened his
ability to walk. Today, the positive 10-year-old is driven to try
harder each day. He recently realized some of his needs differed
from his peers, but doesn't let anything slow him down.
Carson inspired over 6,000 RE/MAX Affiliates at the RE/MAX R4
Convention in Las Vegas,
February 27- March 1. While at the
annual event, he joined Opening General Session host Brian Buffini and RE/MAX CEO Adam Contos where he shared his story and
thanked the audience for their support and generosity.
Throughout the week Carson inspired RE/MAX agents and brokers to
raise more than $120,000 at a live
auction event, where travel packages, jewelry and autographed
sports attire were among the items up for auction.
