We are a week away from our 3rd annual Celebrity Texas Hold’em Tournament on behalf of the Stollery Hospital. Over the past few years we have been able to raise over $7,000 that we send directly to the Hospital here in Edmonton so that they can use it to help the kids that need it.

The event is only a small part in an overall corporate affiliation with the Children’s Miracle Network that we have proudly been a part of since 1992 and stretches across Canada and North America. Since then RE/MAX affiliates have helped raise over $44 Million in Canada and over $107 Million in North America – an amazing number!
While events such as the Poker tournament are a great ancillary source of these amounts; a great deal of these monies are raised by individual Associates contributing directly from each real estate transaction they take part in. In fact, I am very proud to say that Edmonton has the distinction of having the title of “Miracle City” – 100% of our Associates contribute to the Stollery and its great work on behalf of the children of Northern Alberta.
I hope that you can come out and join us on April 28th at the Yellowhead casino to help us help the kids! The entry fee is $200 with a 2pm start time.
