CENTURY 21 Network Participates in Brand's International Week
of Giving to Benefit Communities in Markets Across the
Globe
MADISON,
N.J., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Century 21 Real Estate LLC today
announced the CENTURY 21® System's third annual
fundraising effort in support of local communities served by the
brand's global network of independent agents and brokers. In 2022
Century 21 Real Estate reimagined its brand anniversary date as the
first-ever International Day of Giving dedicated to showcasing the
community giving efforts of the CENTURY 21 Network members around
the world. Based on its success, the initiative was expanded to a
full week in 2023.
This year, companies affiliated with the CENTURY 21 Brand around
the globe will once again host philanthropic activities during the
week of July 21-26 to support causes
important to the agents and communities including homelessness,
food insecurity, disaster relief, education, health, the
environment and more.
"People often remark that, as a profession, real estate is local
and focused on supporting homeownership which is true. But this
expression also describes the CENTURY 21 Network's all-encompassing
commitment to elevating the individual communities they serve,"
said Mike Miedler, President and
CEO, Century 21 Real Estate LLC. "Brokers and agents affiliated
with the CENTURY 21 Brand don't just serve their cities and towns,
they live there, too, and work tirelessly to make them better
places for everyone. Time and again we see our CENTURY 21 family
step up to help their neighbors, friends and those underrepresented
communities who are most in need."
In addition to local brokerage efforts, the CENTURY 21 Brand as
well as many of its independent brokerages have supported the
Easterseals charitable organization for more than four decades.
"For the CENTURY 21 Brand, support of the communities we serve
is part of our DNA and our 45-year-long commitment to Easterseals
is a true testament to that," said Greg
Sexton, COO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC who was appointed
to the Easterseals National Board of Directors in 2023. "I am so
proud of the relentless efforts of the brokers and agents within
the CENTURY 21 Network as they not only raise money but drive
awareness for the important work of this remarkable organization.
Over the last year, I have had the privilege of working more
closely with Kendra Davenport and
her extended leadership team to create synergies that elevate the
organization's impact to more than 1.5 million people served by
Easterseals each year."
In 2023 the CENTURY 21® System raised
nearly $3.1
million for Easterseals, to enhance quality of life
and expand access to healthcare, education and employment for
people with disabilities, including veterans and senior citizens,
bringing its lifetime fundraising total to $138.5 million.
"As our longest-serving legacy philanthropic partner, the
CENTURY 21® brand and its network have been
stalwart supporters of Easterseals since 1979,"
said Easterseals President and CEO Kendra Davenport. "Forty-five years later, we
continue to be amazed by the extraordinary efforts of the local
brokerages affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand across North
America– from annual fundraising campaigns to the unique charity
events they put together. With the brand's long-standing support,
Easterseals is able to make great strides toward fulfilling its
mission of enhancing quality of life and expanding local access to
healthcare, education, and employment opportunities to the more
than 1.5 million people it serves each year. Together, we're
empowering people with disabilities, families, and communities to
be full and equal participants in society."
Throughout the year, companies affiliated with the
C21® brand host a variety of events to engage community
members in support of Easterseals and other local charity
organizations including:
- CENTURY 21 Novus "Reels for Seals"
In its ninth year, the CENTURY 21 Novus Reels for
Seals is an annual fishing tournament held at Lake Wedowee in
Alabama. This year was the event's
best yet, pulling in $27,000 in
support for Easterseals North Georgia. In fact, in recognition of
the brokerage's commitment, the Easterseals affiliate dedicated the
auditorium in its local facility to CENTURY 21 Novus.
According to CENTURY 21 Novus broker/owner Rett Harmon, "We designed Reels for Seals to
resonate with parents and kids and create a fun way for families to
give back while enjoying time together."
- CENTURY 21 Affiliated Golf Classic
The brokerage's fourth annual charity golf tournament in
support of Homes Giving Hope, a non-profit organization providing
independent living support for adults with unique abilities, raised
$45,344 this year! The Affiliated
Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) private charity which was created
to encourage generous agents and brokers affiliated with CENTURY 21
Affiliated to give back to local communities in a meaningful and
coordinated manner.
According to CENTURY 21 Affiliated CEO and owner Dan Kruse,
"CENTURY 21 Affiliated is not only dedicated to helping clients
with all their real estate transactions, but we are also committed
to helping our communities thrive. We provide multiple charitable
contributions and do our part to take care of those around us."
- CENTURY 21 Bryanston, South Africa
Staring earlier this year, agents affiliated with CENTURY
21 Bryanston have hosted a monthly charity drive at the Hobart
Grove Center benefitting multiple local philanthropic organizations
including the Miracle Mission, whose main purpose and function is
to provide a home for children in distress, and the SPCA Sandton,
an organization committed to ending animal cruelty in South
Africa.
The CENTURY 21 global network's events and volunteer efforts
during the International Week of Giving will be highlighted via a
#C21WithYou social media campaign across the brand's owned channels
and those of its franchisees throughout the week of July 21 – 26,
2024. Those looking to support the CENTURY 21 Brand's mission of
giving, can donate directly to the Easterseals organization at
Easterseals.com/C21Giving.
