Re/Max is a supporter of Children’s Miracle Network and was recently a presenting sponsor of the third annual Rev It Up for SickKids event, an initiative founded in 2012 by a group of motorcycle enthusiasts in Ontario. In March 2013, the group pledged to raise $500,000 for The Hospital for Sick Children, also known as SickKids Hospital.

Bruce Johnson, a sales rep with Re/Max of Wasaga Beach and his daughter Holly took a motorcycle ride to Costa Rica earlier this year in their Motorcycle for Miracles journey in support of SickKids. Along with Alex Lombardi, sales rep at Re/Max Premier, and many other Re/Max associates, they played a large role in ensuring the Rev It Up event went off without a hitch.

More than 200 people took part, including 30 motorcycle riders and 45 people on a party bus. The funds raised will be used to purchase equipment used to monitor oxygen levels and to assess the heart’s ability to distribute oxygen throughout a child’s body.

The event raised $50,000 of the $250,000 that has been collected to date.
