The commitment of the RE/MAX family to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals demonstrates “The power of many makes a difference.” That is the true secret behind the RE/MAX® relationship with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The individual donations of thousands of Associates amount to millions of dollars each year for children’s hospitals. In total, more than $100 million has been raised since RE/MAX became a supporter of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in 1992.

The most effective fundraising tool is the Miracle Home® program, where Associates make a contribution to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals with each closed transaction. Many RE/MAX offices are so passionate about the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals mission that they go above and beyond. From organizing golf tournaments to hosting art auctions, their efforts prove the simple principle that actions speak louder than words. They have learned that genuine compassion in life directly corresponds to meaningful success in business. At RE/MAX, it’s called Premier Community Citizenship—performing ordinary acts of extraordinary generosity.
