RE/MAX Agents Kick-off 'Month of Miracles' Program through Children's Miracle Network to Benefit Area Hospitals - Lexington

Throughout August, donations will be made to local CMN-affiliated hospitals from sales of 'miracle homes.'

Providence, RI – August 5, 2015 – RE/MAX agents across the nation will participate in the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Month of Miracles program beginning August 1st. Throughout the month, consumers will notice special CMN-branded RE/MAX signage on select homes for sale, which designates that the home is a ‘miracle home’ and a donation from the sale will be provided in the buyer’s name to a local CMN-affiliated hospital.

In 2014, RE/MAX agents across the U.S. raised more than $8.75 million for CMN-affiliated hospitals. In Massachusetts, agents donated $94,242.00 to Boston Children’s Hospital and Baystate Children’s Hospital through this program.

“Being a good neighbor is very important to all of us at RE/MAX,” said Dan Breault, Executive Vice President and Regional Director of RE/MAX, INTEGRA, New England. “Our agents are incredibly dedicated to their communities and this is just one of many ways they choose to give back.”
