RE/MAX, LLC announced its second annual “Global RE/MAX Day” will take place on Wednesday, October 5. The goal of the event is to activate the vast RE/MAX network, which includes 140,000+ affiliates and a presence in over 110 countries and territories, in a coordinated effort to give back to the communities in which they live and work. RE/MAX affiliates and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. staff members are encouraged to volunteer at a charity of their choice or through a community service project on Global RE/MAX Day.
“RE/MAX affiliates commit time and resources to the betterment of the communities they work and live in,” says Shawna Gilbert, RE/MAX Senior Vice President of Global Development. “Global RE/MAX Day provides us with another opportunity to positively impact our respective networks. Because of the incredible turnout last year, RE/MAX affiliates were able to make a meaningful difference all around the world - we look forward to building on that success and making an even bigger impact this year and for years to come.”
In 2021, RE/MAX affiliates worldwide raised money for important causes and organizations, including long-time RE/MAX philanthropic partner Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals. Affiliates and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. employees also volunteered at food banks, supported animal rescue missions, cleaned up their cities and towns, gathered supplies for those in need, and so much more.
Making a difference in the community has been a longstanding RE/MAX tradition. Since 1992, the brand has partnered with CMN Hospitals to raise funds for children treated at pediatric hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. During the nearly 30-year charitable partnership, RE/MAX affiliates have donated over $185 million to CMN Hospitals through fundraisers and initiatives like the Miracle Home and Miracle Property Program.
