Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

Locally, about 400 RE/MAX Allegiance associates, including myself, contribute a portion of our income to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to help our local area. Additionally, RE/MAX International has thousands more RE/MAX associates contributing to the larger effort. Through our collective strength, we’ve been able to raise millions and millions of dollars over the years. I’m proud to be able to participate.

Dear Roy Kohn,

Thank you for participating in the Miracle Home program and pledging to make a donation to help kids through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Your contributions will make a difference in the lives of children and nothing could be more important.

Here’s an example of what RE/MAX contributions to Children’s Miracle Network stood for last year.
• 859 Repaired Hearts. Repairing a heart valve in a child averages $65,000.
• 3,493 Brain MRIs. An MRI of the brain and brainstem to find tumors and other abnormalities costs $16,000.
• 250 Bone Marrow Transplants. A bone marrow transplant to treat sickle cell anemia or leukemia averages $223,000.
• 745 Lives Without Cancer. The average treatment for a child with cancer costs $75,000.
• 1,363 ICU Beds. These state of the art beds cost $41,000. A well-equipped Neonatal Intensive Care Unit needs 15-20 beds.

Your office is helping kids at the Children’s Miracle Network hospital in your area and nothing could be more important.

With Gratitude,
Children’s Miracle Network

Buying or Selling a Home? Why Take Chances!

 Below is the most recent RE/MAX television commercial. It’s one of the perks of being with a successful Broker. The commercial is for a national audience that isn’t experiencing the fantastic market that Northern Virginia is lucky enough to have. When most local Brokers are cutting budgets and laying people off, I feel fortunate to be with a Broker with sucess and vision.
