A quality that successful real estate professionals share
is community involvement. RE/MAX Associates in particular are mindful
of the impact they make locally, not just in real estate but as caring
citizens. Over the years, our Associates have distinguished themselves
as stewards for the betterment of their communities, concerned not
only with contribution to their communities but also with the outcome
of the contribution. These qualities - known as RE/MAX Premier
Community Citizenship - are a dynamic part of the RE/MAX organization.
For example, RE/MAX Associates have always been among the leaders
in their communities, devoting time and dollars to countless charities
and local causes. Committed to their own personal charities, RE/MAX
Associates and offices contribute millions of dollars annually to
their respective communities nationally.
At the network level, RE/MAX sponsorship of the Children's
Miracle Network and its affiliated hospitals is a prime example
of RE/MAX community citizenship. One of Children's Miracle Network's
largest corporate partners, the RE/MAX network in Canada has raised
over $18 million for the charity since 1992. The hallmark of Children's
Miracle Network is that 100% of every dollar raised in a community
stays there to help children in need who are served by participating
hospitals in the local area.
For further information about the RE/MAX and Children's Miracle
Network affiliation please contact Helga Wendt, Manager, Regional
Administration, at RE/MAX of Western Canada (hwendt@remax.net) or

As well, RE/MAX of Western Canada created the "Quest
for Excellence Program". This bursary program was established
to recognize the success and on-going pursuits of Western Canadian
students. A "Quest for Excellence" involves any student in Grade
12 who demonstrates great feeling and passion, commitment and dedication,
positive attitude and enthusiasm for the subject chosen. RE/MAX
presents 24 bursaries of $500 each regionally. The categories are
Leadership, Sports, Technology and Trades, Fine Arts, Performing
Arts and Community Service. RE/MAX is proud to recognize students,
in the very communities in which we live and work, for their outstanding
achievements. Education is the building block of our future and
if the children we hear from every day are any indication, our future
has never been brighter. For further information or to apply for
the Quest for Excellence scholarship, please contact the Advertising
Department, RE/MAX of Western Canada at 1-800-563-3622 or email

RE/MAX is committed to help raise awareness of the ongoing need
for organ donation. GiveLife assists Canadians in making informed
decisions regarding organ, tissue and bone marrow donation. The
GiveLife site provides some national information regarding organ
and tissue donation, but more importantly acts as a portal to the
many provincial organizations that are mandated to oversee organ
and tissue donation programs across the country. To find out more
information on how to register to be an organ donor, please visit
their website www.givelife.ca.
