RE/MAX Northern Illinois Saluted As Platinum Sponsor Of Children’s Memorial Hospital In Chicago

Children’s Memorial Hospital of Chicago recently named the RE/MAX Northern Illinois network and its 3,600 agents as one of its Platinum Sponsors for 2008. Platinum sponsorship requires an annual commitment of $100,000 to $500,000 from a single business organization or network.

RE/MAX Northern Illinois agents have been Platinum sponsors of Children’s Memorial for the last several years as part of their support for the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN). All funds raised for CMN in the Chicago area benefit Children’s Memorial, which is one of 170 CMN hospitals throughout the United States and Canada.

The Platinum Sponsor designation reflected the outstanding fundraising efforts of the RE//MAX network in 2007. Last year, RE/MAX agents in northern Illinois raised more than $240,000 for Children’s Memorial through direct donations and by sponsoring a variety of fundraising events.

“Supporting the great work of Children’s Memorial allows RE/MAX to show its gratitude to the thousands of families who trust in us when they buy or sell a home,” said Jim Merrion, regional director of RE/MAX Northern Illinois. “Children’s Memorial provides world-class care to children regardless of the financial status of their families and is a treasured medical resource for children in northern Illinois and beyond.
