As Re/Max Ontario-Atlantic celebrated the successes of 2012, the company recently recognized its franchises’ most significant charitable milestones at its annual awards event.
Re/Max Hallmark Realty received the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Award for top contributions in a large market, with a donation of close to $100,000. The company, which has been dedicated to the charity since 1992, is perennially among Re/Max’s top contributing franchises. In 2012, Re/Max Hallmark marked its $1 million milestone in overall donations to Sick Kids Hospital through CMN.
Re/Max Orillia was honoured in the small market category for contributions to CMN for the eighth consecutive year. The company has raised more than $200,000 for the cause during the past nine years through agent participation in the Re/Max Miracle Home Program, as well as local fundraisers. The annual golf tournament the brokerage hosts to raise funds and awareness has become legendary in the community of 30,000 people.

Re/Max Garden City was recognized for its commitment to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, marking the second consecutive year the company has earned the distinction of Top Contributor in a large market. The brokerage has raised more than $100,000 during the past two years, largely through the Sold on a Cure Program. Realtors make a donation to the foundation each time they help a client buy or sell a home. The franchise’s annual one-day Yard Sale for the Cure event is one of the largest in Ontario, drawing over 200 volunteers, service organizations, local celebrities and politicians and more than 5,000 visitors.
Re/Max a-b Realty was also recognized for top contributions to the foundation in the small market category. The brokerage primarily raises funds through Yard Sale for the Cure, Run for the Cure and the Sold on a Cure Program.
