The Komen Race for the Cure® Series is the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world. In 2002, races will be held in more than 100 U.S cities and three foreign countries with over 1.3 million participants expected. RE/MAX Preferred Associates is proud to provide information on this wonderful cause.
Proceeds from the Komen Race for the Cure® Series help fund important breast cancer research as well as breast health initiatives on a local level. Seventy-five percent of the proceeds remain right here in the Toledo area, helping to support breast health education and breast cancer screening and
treatment programs for the medically underserved. These programs are funded based upon a special needs assessment survey performed by each Komen Affiliate. A minimum of 25 percent of Race
proceeds helps fund breast cancer research and project grants awarded through Komen Foundation Headquarters.

Children's Miracle Network is an international non-profit organization dedicated to helping children by raising funds and awareness for 170 children's hospitals throughout North America. Each year these non-profit hospitals treat more than 17 million children afflicted with diseases, injuries and birth defects of every kind.
When RE/MAX International became the official real estate sponsor for Children's Miracle Network in January 1992 we had two objectives. The first was to affiliate with a national charity distinguished for improving health care for children. The second- to make the world a better place for the people we serve. Astronaut Christa MdAuliff once said, "I touch the future, I teach." We veiw our affiliation with Children's Miracle Network similarly: Through the 165 affiliated CMN hospitals, we touch the future of the families we serve. Mercy Children's Hospital locally is affiliated with CMN. We are committed to improving the health of today's child. To date, CMN has raised more than 1.2 billion for Children's Healthcare. The work of CMN extends beyond the broadcast, through the hospital directors, local television sponsors and the team of CMN corporate sponsors. The hospitals, committed to the mission of CMN and all funds raised stay local.
RE/MAX International has been a sponsor of Children's Miracle Network since 1992 and has raised more than $33 million since that time, making them the second largest sponsor. The Miracle HomeŽ program generates the most donations. A Miracle Home creates an opportuity for the Sales Associate to make a pledge to his or her local Children's Miracle Network member hospital when that particular home is listed or sold. In addition, RE/MAX offices implement golf tournaments, mini stock car races, galas, sell cook books, or other fund raisers to support Children's Miracle Network.

RE/MAX Associates generated more than $5 million in donations last year alone. Said Carolynn Bond, Liaison to Children's Miracle Network for RE/MAX International, "Our business is about more than just buying or selling homes. Our business is to care for families, and what better way to show that care and concern than to support Children's Miracle Network." Their current marketing tagline, "Outstanding Agents, Outstanding Results" applies not only to real estate, but to helping kids as well.
