Team Remax CIBC Run for the Cure

September 8, 2008 · Filed Under Remax Newfoundland and St. John's General · Comment 

Breast cancer affects Canadians from coast to coast.  On Sunday, October 5, 2008, unite with all Canadians in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. Once again Team Remax is involved with helping to fundraise for this great event.

The Run was created in 1992 by a small group of volunteers who wanted to raise awareness and funds for the cause. The first event took place in Toronto. Over 1,500 participants raised $85,000 - an outstanding success!  Through the ongoing dedication of our volunteers, this single Run event grew into what it is today … Canada’s largest single-day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to breast cancer research, education and awareness.

In 2007, 53 communities and 170,000 Canadians participated in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. Together, we raised more than $27 million for breast cancer research, education, and awareness programs. What an incredible success!

This year I’ve decided to take a more active roll. I am participating in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, on Sunday, October 5th and I am asking for your support for a cause that is very important to me.

REMAX Yard Sale for the Cure

April 18, 2008 · Filed Under Local St. John's and Remax Newfoundland · 1 Comment 

RE/MAX has a long tradition of supporting worthwhile causes. In 2004, the company threw its support behind the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

The RE/MAX offices in St. John’s will once again host their Yard Sale for the Cure on May 31st. Last year local RE/MAX Realtors raised over $2,000.00. We have plans to do even better this year.

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.
