RE/MAX
Australia is the official real estate sponsor of Camp
Quality, a wonderful national not-for-profit
organisation that runs ongoing recreational and
educational programs for children living with cancer and
their families.
With its "Fun Therapy" philosophy, Camp Quality aims to
enrich the lives of sick children and bring them some
happiness during a very difficult time. Among its
activities are a recreational and camping program,
educational puppet program and family assistance
packages.
Since 1999, RE/MAX
Australia has helped to raise a total of $700,000 for
Camp Quality through fundraisers, events and donation
pledges from salespeople. In 2006 alone,
RE/MAX
Australia raised an amazing $86,887.93.
More than 5,000 children attend approximately 125 camps
each year. The puppet program tours schools across
Australia with performances using life-size puppets
about children with cancer.
The family assistance packages provide funds for
families struggling financially and pay for siblings to
also attend the camps - giving parents a much-needed
rest. Many RE/MAX
salespeople pledge a percentage of their commissions to
Camp Quality. It takes just $550 to send one child to
camp and RE/MAX
Sales Associates and Broker/Owners want to achieve this
for as many children as possible.
