Children's Miracle Network

In 1992, RE/MAX became the official real estate sponsor for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN). Since that time, RE/MAX has raised more than $85 million, making them the second largest sponsor. The Miracle Home® program generates the most donations. A Miracle Home creates an opportunity for the Sales Associate to make a donation to the Children's Miracle Network member hospital aligned with his/her office on behalf of each transaction. In addition, RE/MAX offices implement golf tournaments, mini stock car races, galas, or other fund raisers to support CMN. In 2007, RE/MAX Associates worldwide generated more than $9.9 million in donations.

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

RE/MAX is proud to be the exclusive real estate sponsor of the Komen Race for the Cure® Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program. The Komen Race for the Cure® is the largest series of 5k runs/fitness walks in the world, and proceeds help fund important breast cancer research as well as health initiatives at the local level. With the "Racing for Life®" slogan, RE/MAX honors breast cancer survivors by providing the signature pink t-shirts and caps for race participants to wear. Race participants also receive "In Memory of" or "In Celebration of" back signs to honor a friend or loved one. In addition, RE/MAX teams participate in and volunteer at community Komen Race events.

Together with its Affiliate Network, corporate partners and various donors, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has raised over $700 million for research, education, screening and treatment since 1982. Komen's Survivor Recognition Program celebrates breast cancer survivors and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Seventy-five percent of the proceeds from Race for the Cure® remain in the local community where the race is held, helping to support breast health education, cancer screening, and treatment programs.
