Marianita Brennan and Noemy Brown, both sales associates at Re/Max Journey, Sayreville, recently joined the national Re/Max Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Home Program.
Under the program, the associates will donate a specified amount of money per sales transaction to CMN. They also will display the colorful "Miracle Home" riders on top of their Re/Max yard signs.
Re/Max is the exclusive real estate sponsor for CMN, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for children’s hospitals. All proceeds generated by the Re/Max offices stay in the community in which they were made to benefit participating hospitals.
The CMN-associated hospitals, which treat children with all types of afflictions including cancer, heart and muscular diseases, birth defects, AIDS and injuries resulting from accidents, pride themselves on treating the whole child and rendering service based on need, not on the ability to pay.
This year Re/Max associates from around the world made a record $5 million contribution to CMN. Re/Max of New Jersey Inc., contributed $304,000.
