To encourage Century 21 system members to get involved with the company’s designated charity, those who raise more than $2,100 each year are now inducted into the Century 21 Kids to Camp Club and receive the Century 21 Golden Heart award. The club’s mission is to provide more kids with life-changing camp memories by increasing awareness and inspiring fundraising within the company’s offices.
Club members also connect with a camper who will share their own personal experience, giving sales reps and brokers a firsthand story of their donation’s impact.
“I think the Kids to Camp Club program will make a huge difference in the lives of those with disabilities all across the country. One person raising $2,100 is an amazing gesture of generosity,” says 15-year-old Brandon Liston, Easter Seals National Ambassador. “That amount actually pays for one camper’s total camp experience – and that experience will change their life forever.”
The first five Kids to Camp Club members were celebrated recently: Chiyoko Kakino, Century 21 Canada, Vancouver; Allan Zunec, Nadine Beaucage and Julie Vesuwalla of Century 21 Bamber Realty, Calgary; and Stephen Chow, Century 21 Atria Realty, Toronto.
Easter Seals will highlight each club member on special installations at their local camps and nationally in the organization’s annual report. As well, members receive invites to special Easter Seals’ events as honorary guests.
