The past year presented plenty of challenges, but RE/MAX affiliates worked hard to help ensure funding for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals was not one of them. Whether it was through socially distanced events or virtual fundraisers, RE/MAX brokers and agents found creative solutions to show their continued support for patients treated at CMN member hospitals – and their families. The result: $8.3 million in 2020 donations.
During the 2021 RE/MAX R4 convention, RE/MAX announced that affiliates throughout the U.S. and Canada have now surpassed $170 million in total donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since the charitable partnership began in 1992.
Mike Reagan, RE/MAX Senior Vice President of Industry Relations and Global Growth and Development, has seen the impact of the ongoing generosity.
“In our almost 30 years of partnership, there has never been a year where CMN Hospitals needed our support more,” Reagan says. “I’m proud to see RE/MAX agents continue to answer the call to help kids. It’s a testament to their extraordinary generosity and commitment to serving the community.”

Support for CMN Hospitals took many forms during the pandemic. Throughout the busy summer selling season, agents continued to make a donations through the Miracle Home Program. In October, agents began purchasing Miracle Masks – designed by CMN Hospitals Miracle Children – to do their part to stop the spread of the coronavirus, raising more than $17,000 for the cause along the way. And in a holiday season like no other, RE/MAX brokers across the country rallied their offices to participate in a virtual toy drive.
Affiliates received a special thank you from Marie Osmond, the world-famous entertainer and co-founder of CMN Hospitals, during a special appearance on the “Good Morning RE/MAX” Facebook Live series.
“I want you to know that even with all that’s going on right now, what you do blesses so many families’ lives,” she told the audience. “Every minute, 62 kids enter one of our children’s hospitals. You are amazing people, and it’s amazing to be involved with people who care. So, on behalf of all the kids, thank you.”
