In a year of disruption and uncertainty, RE/MAX Canada came through with remarkable levels of support for children’s hospitals across Canada. Through continued participation in the Miracle Home Program and a range of creative new initiatives, RE/MAX teams from B.C. to the Maritimes showed a steadfast commitment to sick and injured children – finding new ways to put kids first in an extraordinary year. Thank you.

A Message of Gratitude from Mark

Mark Hierlihy

Canada’s children’s hospitals are deeply grateful for RE/MAX Canada’s steadfast partnership during this extraordinary year. Even as you managed the exceptional demands of 2020 in your own businesses, you found new ways to come through for kids.

With your support, children’s hospitals were able to adapt and innovate in 2020, responding to the year’s challenges and laying even stronger foundations for the future. Many rapidly adopted virtual platforms to ensure that young patients would have access to the care they needed. Pediatric teams navigated unprecedented operational complexities to continue delivering treatment and care. Hospital leaders reached beyond the walls of their institutions to help protect the health of their communities and of all Canadians.

As hospitals made these extraordinary efforts, RE/MAX Canada was by their side. While some real estate markets struggled and some fundraising activities became impossible, you sought new ways to support children’s hospital foundations in your communities – engaging agents, brokers, and office teams, and using fresh approaches to get community members involved. Canada’s 12 children’s hospital foundations join me in thanking you for every part of your work with us this year. We have always been grateful for your support; this year, it meant more than ever.

Year in review

RE/MAX was off to an exciting start in February 2020, hosting its R4 convention in Las Vegas with 7,000 guests from 67 countries in attendance. Soon after, however, the COVID-19 pandemic gained ground throughout North America and caused dramatic changes in Canada’s real estate markets.

Although RE/MAX’s core business faced uneven conditions across the country, support for Canada’s children’s hospitals remained strong and steady among agents, brokers, and office staff from coast to coast. Enrolments in the Miracle Home Program, a fundraising initiative through which thousands of RE/MAX Agents commit to donating a specific amount to CMN for every transaction they close, stayed remarkably stable. In 2020, more than 600 RE/MAX Canada Offices and 7,000 RE/MAX Canada Agents participated in supporting their local children’s hospitals.

Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) hospital foundations were deeply grateful when brokers, agents, offices, and staff teams across Canada, including many in struggling markets, went above and beyond their usual business-related fundraising activities to ensure their support for local children’s hospital foundations remained robust through this challenging year. In Northern Alberta, where COVID-19 and other factors slowed real estate activity early in the year, brokers and agents took the initiative to host fun runs, birthday fundraisers, and Halloween pumpkin sales, all to raise money for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Locally and nationally, the holiday season in December became an opportunity to rally support for children’s hospitals. RE/MAX Canada introduced the Season of Miracles campaign, raising more than $67,000 for sick and injured children through one-time donations.

More than one RE/MAX office also donated the funds they would otherwise have spent on a holiday party to their local children’s hospital foundation – transforming a festive evening into a deeply meaningful gift.

Note: Some images and videos in this report were taken before the COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to masking and social distancing protocols.

In addition to these many efforts, RE/MAX Canada teams even looked beyond their own goals and activities to consider the needs of other CMN partners who might be struggling to meet their fundraising objectives in this challenging year. Showing a remarkable spirit of generosity and collaboration, RE/MAX teams across Canada promoted the social media posts of other partners and encouraged local communities to support children’s health however they could. These selfless efforts were yet another reminder of the strength and authenticity of RE/MAX Canada’s commitment to Canada’s children’s hospitals.

The entire CMN family is deeply grateful for your partnership, which meant more than ever in this extraordinary year.

Thank You, RE/MAX Agents, Brokers and Offices for Making Miracles Happen Every Day, Through the Sale of Every Home.

Commitment coast to coast

Through RE/MAX Canada’s partnership with CMN Canada, we are enabling impact across the country. Every dollar that agents, brokers, and offices raise locally stays local, inspiring neighbours and supporting patients and families nearby. This local impact – often benefiting RE/MAX agents’ and brokers’ own kids or other loved ones – is part of what keeps RE/MAX Canada active on behalf of CMN, year after year.

Making it personal

Every RE/MAX Canada agent who supports Children’s Miracle Network brings their own style and motivation to the cause. In one region this year, agents planned a special gathering to share their unique reasons for giving – as well as tips from top performers.

Coming through for kids

In a year of uncertainty and disruption, RE/MAX Canada teams continued to rally behind their local children’s hospitals in ways both familiar and new.

Creativity and commitment

With some usual fundraising activities off the table in 2020, some RE/MAX Canada agents identified creative new ways to extend their support.

Reaching new heights

Some RE/MAX Canada agents and regions achieved their best results ever in 2020, delivering new levels of support to kids and families in a year when the extra help was especially welcome.

A strong partnership

Investing in the future of Canadian children since 1992.

Thank you, RE/MAX Canada.

Children’s hospitals across Canada are deeply grateful for your support and commitment – this year and every year.
