At RE/MAX, we take immense pride in our agents' unwavering commitment to their communities, a dedication that extends far beyond real estate. Throughout the year, our RE/MAX agents actively engage with local charities, embodying the spirit of giving back and fostering positive change in their neighbourhoods. From partnering with nonprofit organizations to volunteer work and fundraising events, our agents consistently demonstrate their deep-rooted connection to the places they call home. These endeavours reflect our company's values and the shared ethos of our agents, who understand the transformative power of community involvement. We are not just in the business of buying and selling homes; we are dedicated to creating and sustaining vibrant, thriving communities where compassion, support, and unity flourish.
NOVEMBER COATS FOR KIDS Okanagan Boys and Girls Club AND SOWINS
At RE/MAX, we are steadfast in our commitment to giving back to our communities, and one of the many charities close to our hearts is the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club's "Coats for Kids" program. As we step into November, a month that reminds us of the importance of warmth and compassion, we wholeheartedly embrace the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young ones in need.
Through our collaborative efforts, we collect coats, ensuring that no child in Summerland, Penticton, or Osoyoos goes without the comfort and protection they deserve during the chilly months. It's not just about warmth but kindling the fires of hope and providing a sense of security. This initiative mirrors the essence of community spirit in our beautiful region, where we extend our hands to those less fortunate. Join us this November as we contribute to the "Coats for Kids" program, embodying the compassion and unity that defines our remarkable communities. Together, we make a significant impact, reminding all of us that a small act of kindness can warm a child's body and heart.
THE SOUTH OKANAGAN WOMEN IN NEED SOCIETY: SOWINS
The South Okanagan Women in Need Society, affectionately known as SOWINS, is an indispensable pillar of support for the women and families in our community. With a mission dedicated to empowering and assisting those in need, SOWINS provides a comprehensive range of services, from safe housing and crisis intervention to counselling and educational programs. Their unwavering commitment to fostering safety, healing, and self-sufficiency is a testament to the strength of community support. RE/MAX is proud to stand alongside SOWINS in its vital mission, as we understand that its work extends far beyond its admirable services; it touches the lives of countless individuals, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth, resilience, and hope. We strive to create a brighter future for those who need it most.
OCTOBER TREAT ACCESSIBILITY
Treat Accessibly is on a mission to secure 400,000 homes by 2025, a symbolic gesture, one for each of the 400,000 Canadian children who live with disabilities. As we enter 2023, RE/MAX Canada proudly reaffirms its commitment to supporting this noble cause. Treat Accessibly is a movement that seeks to raise awareness and foster an inclusive Halloween celebration, ensuring it accommodates individuals of all abilities. In Canada, over 400,000 children and youth face daily challenges due to disabilities that can hinder activities as simple as trick-or-treating. These individuals are among the 6.2 million Canadians (22 percent) who identify as having mobility, sensory, or intellectual disabilities. Treat Accessibly is dedicated to promoting inclusivity by removing barriers to Halloween festivities.
How can you contribute? You can help create an accessible Halloween experience by distributing treats from an obstacle-free location on your property, such as the foot of the driveway, and by displaying the Treat Accessibly lawn sign before Halloween. This sign serves as a beacon to your community, signaling that you'll be participating in an accessible manner. Contact your local RE/MAX office to obtain your free lawn sign. Generously, Canadian Tire is also funding the distribution of these lawn signs, making it easier for everyone to join this heartfelt initiative. Treat Accessibility https://www.treataccessibly.com/
SPONSOR A FAMILY FOR THE HOLIDAYS
At each of our RE/MAX offices in Summerland, Penticton, and Osoyoos, we consider it a privilege to partake in the Annual "Sponsor a Family for the Holidays" program with the Boys and Girls Club Okanagan. The holiday season is a time of joy, togetherness, and giving, and we believe in sharing the warmth of this season with those who may be facing challenges. It is not merely about gifts and festive decorations; it's about creating moments of happiness and hope for families in our communities. As we embrace this beautiful tradition year after year, we are reminded of the profound impact we can have by extending a helping hand. Join us in spreading the magic of the holiday season and making it truly special for families in need, reminding them that the spirit of giving and caring defines our remarkable community. Together, we can brighten the holiday season for those who need it most.
PENTICTON VEES SPONSORSHIP

DECEMBER- FOOD BANK
During the month of December, RE/MAX comes together with our community in a heartwarming tradition of giving by collecting canned goods for the local Food Bank. As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the significance of kindness and compassion. It's a time when the joy of sharing resonates deeply, and our commitment to supporting those in need shines brightly. Each can collected represents sustenance and a symbol of the unity and support that define our community. Together, we take meaningful steps to ensure that no one goes hungry during this special time of year, reinforcing the spirit of togetherness that defines our remarkable neighbourhoods. Donating canned goods may seem small, but its impact is immeasurable, creating a circle of giving and caring that embodies the essence of the holiday season.
OSNS TELETHON
At RE/MAX, we are deeply committed to our community's well-being, and this dedication extends to the annual OSNS Telethon. Our agents eagerly volunteer their time to answer phones during this heartfelt event, where the community comes together to raise crucial funds for the OSNS Child and Youth Development Centre. The telethon is not just a day of giving; it's a day of hope, where we witness the incredible impact that collective generosity can have on the lives of children and youth in need. We are honoured to play our part, standing by the phones, ready to assist in the fundraising efforts that support the vital services provided by the OSNS Centre. Together with the entire community, we make a difference that truly matters, ensuring that every child's potential is nurtured and their dreams are encouraged.

QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE PROGRAM- RE/MAX ANNUAL BURSARY
The Quest for Excellence Program, our annual RE/MAX Bursary initiative, embodies our unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation's dreams. We understand that education is the key to a brighter future, and our bursary program is designed to empower young minds, providing them with the tools to unlock their potential. Through this program, we offer financial support to deserving students, enabling them to pursue their educational aspirations and reach for the stars. We firmly believe that education is not just about knowledge; it's about opportunity, growth, and the promise of a better tomorrow. With the RE/MAX Bursary Program, we strive to impact the lives of these promising individuals positively, and in doing so, we invest in the future of our communities. Education is a powerful catalyst for change, and we are honoured to be a part of these students' educational journeys. We are committed to fostering excellence and empowering our youth to realize their full potential.
THE MIRACLE HOME PROGRAM
Proceeds from RE/MAX in the South Okanagan agents specifically go to BC Children's Hospital Foundation (BCCHF), one of the 14 pediatric hospitals across Canada partnered with Children's Miracle Network. Many generous agents have been long-time supporters and value giving back to the community where they work and live. Each year, RE/MAX agents and broker/owners participate in hospital tours, radiothons and telethons, and fundraising events.
The Miracle Home Program is more than a way for RE/MAX agents to give back to their community; it is a way for them to build relationships with an organization that positively impacts daily children's lives.
When the time comes to begin your search for your new home, look for the Miracle Home sign so you, too, can help a child in need in your community. By choosing a RE/MAX agent who is part of the Miracle Home Program, you're helping to make miracles happen in the lives of children.
RE/MAX agents put their money where the miracles are!
