At the 32nd Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Telethon on June 6 and 7, broker/owner Jennifer Skuce of Re/Max Metro-City in Ottawa presented more than $91,000 to CHEO on behalf of Re/Max agents in the Rideau St. Lawrence area.
Re/Max Metro-City is the largest brokerage in the area with many of their agents contributing to Children’s Miracle Network through the Re/Max Miracle Home Program and with many staff members contributing per pay cheque.
The brokerage also contributes in other ways throughout the year, including the Miracle Match on the telethon each year where they match every dollar that is pledged for a period of three minutes during the telethon.
It also holds garage sales and a hockey shoot-out where participants pay to shoot on the Ottawa Senator’s ice and winners are supplied with prizes in the suite to watch a hockey game.
In addition, anyone who forgets to turn off their phone and has it ring during a general meeting is required to pay $20 for CHEO. With all of these activities, to date Re/Max in Ottawa has raised $1.8 million for CHEO.
