RE/MAX Hallmark presented with Children’s Miracle Network award for Top Contributing Office in Ontario

Toronto, ON (April 24, 2009) – RE/MAX Hallmark Realty was honoured once again for their outstanding contribution to the Children’s Miracle Network—and Sick Kids Hospital— in 2008.

Broker-Owners Ken McLachan and Debra Bain were presented with the coveted award for Top Contributing Office in Ontario before an audience of their peers at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. RE/MAX Hallmark Realty contributed over $93,000 to Sick Kids in 2008 through the Miracle Home Program and various other fundraisers, making them the top contributing RE/MAX office in Ontario.

“This award has a very special meaning to our team which includes all of the RE/MAX Hallmark offices in the GTA,” says Debra Bain. “One hundred percent of RE/MAX Hallmark agents have contributed a portion of their commission from each and every sale to the Miracle Home Program. We would like to thank our sales associates and support staff who have worked tirelessly to raise money for those less fortunate in need.”

The majority of funds were raised through the RE/MAX Miracle Home Program, which allows sales associates to donate to a portion of the sale of each home to Children’s Miracle Network. In Canada, 12 children’s hospitals and foundations are supported by Children’s Miracle Network. Monies raised fund research, programs, medical equipment and pediatric care for over two million sick children annually.

“The Top Contributing Office award is presented to a RE/MAX office that has made a significant difference in the lives of others through outstanding charitable work,” says Michael Polzler, Executive Vice President and Regional Director, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “The RE/MAX Hallmark team is comprised of truly caring individuals who really go above and beyond for this worthwhile cause. We commend them for their efforts.”

RE/MAX Hallmark Realty operates seven offices throughout the Greater Toronto Area, with a total agent count of 530. They are renowned in their community for their philanthropy efforts and fundraising events for Children’s Miracle Network and SickKids.
