Local Charities We Support

Preferred Real Estate Group and RE/MAX supports the following charities in Edmonton as a way of giving back to the community that gives us so much.

Children’s Miracle Network - www.ChildrensMiracleNetwork.ca

All Preferred Real Estate Group members contribute to the dollar per deal program where a portion of every transation is donated to the Childrens Miracle Network in Edmonton. RE/MAX in Canada has raised over $18 Million for the charity since only 1992.






The Stollery Childrens Hospital is the main contribution recipient of CMN in Edmonton. We have, and know many others who have been touched by this amazing, industry leading facility, and we strive to do our part to continue to keep it at it’s best.

  Edmonton Food Bank - www.EdmontonsFoodBank.com

We also believe strongly in the support of the basic needs of many Edmontonian families that require the assistance of this great organization. We collect donations at our Seminar & Client Appreciation events as well as contribute individually throughout the year. Be sure to keep this charity in mind all year long, as the need is there especially during the holiday season, but throughout the year as well.

Uncles & Aunts at Large - www.UnclesAtLarge.ab.ca

John Carter of our team volenteers his time with this great organization. Similar to Big Brothers, Big Sisters, the main difference is Uncles & Aunts is an Edmonton only charity organization. So all funds raised, and all efforts go specifically to Edmonton children and families. John’s part of a group called, YMI (Youth for Mutual Improvement) and works with a small group of 4-6 Uncles, to spend time twice per month with a group of  8-10 boys.
If you have ever considered volunteering as a one-on-one OR in a group environment, we encourage you to look into it. Call 780-452-5791 or info@unclesatlarge.ab.ca
If you know of any children you think would benefit from being involved with an Uncle or Aunt role model, please contact them as well.

 Quest for Excellence

RE/MAX of Western Canada created the "Quest for Excellence Program". This bursary program was established to recognize the success and on-going pursuits of Western Canadian students. A "Quest for Excellence" involves any student in Grade 12 who demonstrates great feeling and passion, commitment and dedication, positive attitude and enthusiasm for the subject chosen. RE/MAX presents 24 bursaries of $500 each regionally. The categories are Leadership, Sports, Technology and Trades, Fine Arts, Performing Arts and Community Service. RE/MAX is proud to recognize students, in the very communities in which we live and work, for their outstanding achievements. Education is the building block of our future and if the children we hear from every day are any indication, our future has never been brighter. For further information or to apply for the Quest for Excellence scholarship, contact Marie Sheppy, Senior Coordinator, Corporate Affairs, at RE/MAX of Western Canada (msheppy@remax.net or call 1-800-563-3622).

 Yard Sale for the Cure - www.YardSalefortheCure.com

RE/MAX has a long tradition of supporting worthwhile causes. In 2004, the company threw its support behind the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and programs like Primary Prevention Research and Breast Care and Health.
RE/MAX invites you to join the event that brings hundreds of neighbourhoods together for a massive one day yard sale in support of breast cancer.
“Yard Sale for the Cure” is the natural evolution of our involvement with breast cancer, and yet another occasion for us to give back to the community. In real estate, it’s often said that you only have one chance to make a good first impression. There is no truer adage when it comes to selling your home. A well maintained and clutter-free home will sell more quickly and for a higher price than a similar home that is not as inviting. “Yard Sale for the Cure” provides homeowners with an excellent opportunity to unload items no longer in use, while simultaneously raising much-needed funds for Breast Cancer Research. Fundraising events such as “Yard Sale for the Cure” ensure we all play a role in finding a cure for breast cancer.

Get Involved - Yard Sale For The Cure takes place Saturday May 31st, 2008. To find out more about this event, contact Preferred Real Estate Group and stay tuned to our newsletter for upcoming dates in future years.
