Children's Miracle Network  Children's Miracle Network and RE/MAX are joined by their desire to provide local community hospitals with modern tools and information. Since RE/MAX became the exclusive real estate sponsor of Children's Miracle Network in 1992, RE/MAX Associates have raised $93 million for the cause. Founded in 1983, Children's Miracle Network generates health care funds and awareness programs to benefit children. The nonprofit organization's 170 participating hospitals across North America help 17 million children annually.
RE/MAX Sales Associates support Children's Miracle Network in a variety of ways, including: - Pledging a contribution derived from each transaction involving a RE/MAX Miracle Home®.
- Staging fundraising events - from local golf tournaments to parking-lot flea markets.
- Donating lifesaving equipment, such as incubators, and sponsoring hospital projects, such as playground construction.
Donations from RE/MAX agents are unique in that a majority of them are the direct result of agents' hard work rather than solicited from customers. The RE/MAX Miracle Home® ProgramThe Miracle Home® Program, exclusive to RE/MAX Associates, allows agents to donate a portion of each transaction to Children's Miracle Network. The partnership underscores Sales Associates’ involvement in the communities where they live and serve.

The facts about breast cancer
• More than 2 million women living in the United States have been diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer.
• This year, an estimated 182,500 women and 2,000 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.
• About 40,500 women and 450 men will die of breast cancer this year.
• Breast cancer is the leading cancer among American women and is second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths.
• When breast cancer is confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate is more than 95 percent.  In 2009, RE/MAX became a National Sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® series after six years as co-sponsor of the Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program at each Race for the Cure in North America.
The enduring "RE/MAX Racing for Life®" slogan and a new level of sponsorship reflect the RE/MAX commitment to the breast cancer movement and Premier Community Citizenship.
Sold for the Cure®  RE/MAX launched a unique program early in 2007 exclusive to RE/MAX Sales Associates that allows agents to designate homes as Sold for the Cure properties in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The pink "RE/MAX in support of Komen for the Cure" banner that sits atop a RE/MAX yard sign means that Komen will receive a donation from the RE/MAX agent when that property sells.
RE/MAX is committed to supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure's promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever.
About the ARCA RE/MAX Series
The Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) was founded in 1953 in Toledo, Ohio, as a Midwest-based stock car auto racing sanctioning body. ARCA's founder, John Marcum, worked as an official for Bill France Sr., who founded the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) in 1949.
Now in its sixth decade, ARCA is recognized as among the leading sanctioning bodies in the country. ARCA administers approximately 100 race events each season in four professional touring series and sanctioned local short tracks on a weekly basis. Some 400 race drivers are licensed by ARCA to compete.
In 2001, RE/MAX took over sponsorship of the best-known ARCA series. This series has crowned a national champion each season since the inaugural season in 1953, and has toured more than 200 race tracks in 26 states since its inception.
 The ARCA RE/MAX Series is unique in that it tests the abilities of drivers and race teams on the most diverse schedule of stock car racing events in the world. The series takes teams to tracks ranging in size from 1/2-mile to 2.66 miles, on both paved and dirt surfaces as well as left- and right-hand turn street and road courses. The race cars are 3,400-pound, full steel-bodied stock cars that closely resemble American manufacturer production stock vehicles rolling off the assembly line.
The ARCA RE/MAX Series brings together a most interesting group of drivers. Many hope to eventually compete in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. Others are drivers searching for a series in which to compete to take a step up from a regional touring series or weekly competition at short tracks. A typical field of entrants will include drivers from 15 states and Canada.
Among the drivers who won their first superspeedway race in the ARCA RE/MAX Series are Benny Parsons, Adam Petty, Kyle Petty, Mark Martin, Tim Richmond, Michael Waltrip, Tracy Leslie, Joe Ruttman, Davey Allison, Ernie Irvan, Rick Wilson, Jeff Purvis and Mike Wallace. Others who drove in ARCA RE/MAX Series events as an experience toward future professional racing successes include Jeremy Mayfield, Danny Sullivan, Phil Parsons, Lake Speed, Brett Bodine, Alan Kulwicki, Charlie Glotzbach, Darrell Waltrip, Jimmy Spencer, Ken Schrader, Sterling Marlin, Clifford Allison, Ted Musgrave, Jim Sauter, Adam Petty, Ron Hornaday and Dick Trickle.
Usually two-thirds to three-quarters of the starting field at any given NASCAR Winston Cup event have ARCA RE/MAX Series experience.
The ARCA RE/MAX Series sanctions 20 to 25 events each season. Among the annual stops are such prestigious facilities as Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Pocono International Raceway, Michigan Speedway, Lowe's Motor Speedway, Kentucky Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.
All these venues and more represent the RE/MAX network's commitment to community involvement, serving the public beyond its real estate needs. |
