On Halloween afternoon, a few witches and superheroes from Re/Max Realtron Realty in Toronto gave out candy to more than 400 trick-or-treaters at the annual Trick-or-Treat Treasure Hunt at Sick Kids for the Children’s Miracle Network partnership. The team was asked to participate after becoming the top donating Re/Max brokerage of 2015 for the charitable initiative. Realtron also has a number of agents in the top 30 donor spots, including Barry Cohen at No. 1.
“The kids were just so excited,” says Realtron’s Jessica McCarthy, who dressed up as Supergirl to give out treats. “We saw a lot of other little superheroes, many of whom asked to get their photos taken with us. There were also a few dressed as doctors and nurses in tiny scrubs.”
At the request of the hospital staff, the treats aren’t candy. Realtron created small loot bags containing stickers, toys and colouring books to hand out. All leftover treats were donated to the hospital’s Treasure Box program, where children can choose a reward after undergoing a medical procedure.
