DENVER, March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Every minute, 62
children enter a Children's Miracle Network Hospital for treatment;
every 30 seconds, a RE/MAX agent helps someone find their perfect
place. Last year, RE/MAX Affiliates in the U.S. and
Canada donated over $10 million to 170 Children's Miracle Network
Hospitals through the Miracle Home and Miracle Property
programs.
Since 1992, RE/MAX agents and brokers have invested in the
well-being of their local communities by raising more
than $150 million for 170 CMN Hospitals. Each donation helps
fund pediatric medical equipment, treatments, charitable care and
other healthcare services for local CMN hospitals. As the
contributions continue to grow, RE/MAX Associates are able to aid a
larger number of sick and injured children.
"We love all of the RE/MAX Miracle Agents and Offices,"
said John Lauck, president and CEO
of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. "For the last 25 years
these agents have done so much to help kids in local communities
throughout the U.S. and Canada,
and we are deeply grateful."
In addition to participating in the Miracle Home and Miracle
Property programs, RE/MAX offices and agents generate donations
through benefit dinners, golf tournaments, auctions and other
community fundraisers. Many RE/MAX Associates also visit and
volunteer at their local children's hospitals to further support
the millions of kids who receive treatment at Children's Miracle
Network Hospitals each year.
"It's truly amazing just how generous RE/MAX Affiliates are,
as they've continued putting their time and money where the
miracles are for the past 25 years," said Mike Reagan, Senior
Vice President, Business Alliances, RE/MAX, LLC. "RE/MAX agents
and brokers understand the importance of CMN Hospitals and the
impact the 170 hospitals make on children's lives. RE/MAX
Affiliates truly help make miracles happen with their incredible
support."
The extraordinary support and donations from RE/MAX Affiliates
help kids like Miracle Child Angelica Hale, who spent 80 days in
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital. She developed a
bacterial infection in her lungs that caused her to fight for her
life when she was merely four years old. The infection caused her
to spend weeks in ICU and nearly two years on peritoneal dialysis.
She later underwent a kidney transplant after finding out her
mother was a perfect match. Today, the talented nine-year-old loves
to sing and travels the country sharing her incredible
story.
Last week, Angelica inspired over 6,000 RE/MAX Affiliates at the
RE/MAX R4 Convention in Las Vegas,
February 27-March 2. While at the
annual event, she joined Opening General Session host Wayne Brady and special guest Miss America Savvy
Shields onstage where she shared her story and thanked the audience
for their support and generosity. She also graced the audience with
her powerful singing voice, singing Whitney
Houston's "Greatest Love of All."
Throughout the week Angelica inspired RE/MAX agents and brokers
to raise more than $100,000 at a live
auction event, where travel packages, jewelry and an office visit
from Miss America were among the
items auctioned off.
