Realtors, support staff, associates, customers and guests of Re/Max Professionals came together recently for the first annual Rock for CMN event, raising over $13,000 for Children’s Miracle Network.  The proceeds will be directed to Toronto’s SickKids Hospital, which helps over 275,000 kids each year.

The event at The Revival Bar, which donated its venue for the event, was attended by more than 300 people.  Ticket sales (at $25 each) and a silent auction accounted for the majority of money raised. The crowd was entertained by a line-up of talented bands, including 3HT and Fifteen Stone, featuring new and classic rock covers, as well as CODA, a tribute to Led Zeppelin. 

“Music is universal,” says Bonnie Miniaci, Rock for CMN organizer and Re/Max Professionals administrator. “It transcends generations and definitely raises the spirit.  That’s why we felt that it was the perfect theme for an annual fundraising event. In 2010, Re/Max Professionals reached its $1-million milestone in donations to SickKids hospital through Children’s Miracle Network, but we continually look for new ways to support the cause.”
