Charities & Community RelationsChildren’s Miracle Network®Through the charitable efforts of our membership, RE/MAX® has donated over $75 million to Children’s Miracle Network®, the nationwide alliance of non-profit hospitals for seriously ill and injured children. As the organization’s national real estate sponsor, RE/MAX offices conduct countless fundraising activities including golf tournaments, casino parties, silent auctions, bake sales and more on behalf of the designated RE/MAX charity. In Texas, RE/MAX agents generated over hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children’s hospitals in 2006, as 100% of funds raised remain in the local community benefiting the local affiliate hospital.

It’s a billboard seven stories tall that you can move from place to place! When not busy elsewhere, it’s floating majestically above the state’s most crowded freeways during drive time, and appears regularly at balloon festivals statewide, July 4th Celebrations, Komen Races, RE/MAX office openings, and community events of all types. Propose our “How Hot Air Rises” program to the science teacher at your local elementary school…they’ll LOVE it! The Pilot does a great demonstration that wows kids and parents alike. For office events, open houses, charitable activities, you might want to borrow one of the Regional Office’s cold air inflatable balloons (6 to 8 feet tall). For more information on the RE/MAX Balloon program, contact balloon@remax-texas.com.
