RE/MAX is committed to community support, an attitude that runs wholeheartedly through the networks in both countries.

Gladstone real estate agency, RE/MAX Gold, and Roseberry Queensland again united to help the less fortunate and called on a generous community to donate back-to-school supplies in time for the 2019 school year. The annual Back to School Supply Drive has been a resounding success for RE/MAX Gold and Roseberry Queensland since 2016. Team Lewis, RE/MAX Go For Sold, loves its small community towns. All members participated in two Rangitikei North Christmas parades for 2018, in Bulls and Marton. Carol Lewis; Mike Lewis; Deb Lewis with son, Finn; Gems Mason with son, Ruben; Pauline and Bill O’Donoghue; and visiting Irish PhD student, Connor, were all part of the fun. RE/MAX Ignite principals Adam and Roxanne Workman regularly support schools and sporting groups, but each December, they go a bit further. They ‘Play Santa’, and at Christmas mailed around 900 personalised letters to children, in envelopes filled with glitter and with handwritten addresses. RE/MAX Zest’s Lisa Walden, Gemma Rowlinson and Yasemin Mead met up with Santa in Pokeno’s first Christmas parade, which attracted 40 festive floats.

The RE/MAX Results Morningside team put together 50 hampers for some less fortunate in the local community after asking school chaplains and P&C Associations to identify needy families. The hampers were filled with goods and vouchers through the efforts of RE/MAX Results staff and customers, and generous donations from local businesses. In Mackay, RE/MAX Results also put hampers together, participating in the Daily Mercury’s annual ‘Adopt a Family’. RE/MAX Bayside Properties teamed up with Alexandra Hills IGA X-press, realestate.com.au and Night Ninjas to deliver care packs to Redlands’ homeless, which included Christmas messages from local school students. The 100 packs were handed out by Night Ninjas, a group supporting the homeless and disadvantaged in the local community. RE/MAX Success raised more than $7,847 for drought-stricken farmers through September, October and November, with the support of its sales and property management clients. The office partnered with Lifeline Darling Downs and South West Queensland Ltd to support local farmers who had not received significant rainfall for more than seven years.

RE/MAX Zest made a bright statement at the Pink Star Walk 2018, held at Auckland Domain late in November. Broker owner Eric Chase, agents and support staff – along with family, friends – were among 3000 who walked to raise awareness and funds, with the ultimate goal to prevent deaths from breast cancer.

In November, RE/MAX Platinum invited 20 ladies on a shopping adventure, which has become an annual event. The group spent up big in eight outlets including Christmas Shack, Bendon, and manchester and handbag outlets. They raised $1000 to support JDRF and its work with type 1 diabetes. RE/MAX Zest held its annual Halloween party for local families – past and present clients - at the Pokeno office. The team loves a celebration in the tight knit community! RE/MAX First’s Sandra de Jersey put on her fourth Fabulous Funky Fashion event at Kawana Surf Club on the Sunshine Coast in October, raising around $3700 for the Cindy McKenzie Breast Cancer Program. More than 100 ladies and gentlemen attended the afternoon tea party. RE/MAX Regency’s Belinda Walker raised around $900 through her Pink Ribbon Breakfast in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness in October last year, held at The Allotment Cafe, Reedy Creek. Local business owners were generous with donations for raffles and giveaways on the day.

That plus a silent auction meant more than $75,000 was raised at the charity fundraiser.

More than 150 invited guests enjoyed a premiere screening of the movie, Book Club, in August, courtesy of RE/MAX Riverside. The event, at the Regal Twin Boutique Arthouse Cinema in the Brisbane suburb of Graceville, was Martin Hood’s seventh annual Exclusive Client Appreciation Film Night. The RE/MAX Gold team could have just stayed in bed, but that would not have helped the Gladstone community, and in particular the foster families who look after children in their care. Instead the real estate team celebrated an August of collecting donations by going to work in their pyjamas.

After 10 years of cultivating his luscious locks, Gladstone real estate agent, Anthony Williams, gave them the chop for a good cause. The RE/MAX Gold agent participated in the Leukemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave in August last year. RE/MAX Excellence’s Rob Levy donated $1000 from every July sale to help find a cure for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. He was moved to help Peter and Amy Reinke who channel their grief of losing baby Joshua into Red Nose Day, which occurred a few days after his passing.
