RE/MAX Central Atlantic Region Races For Life
Online, May 9, 2013 (Newswire.com) - As Mother's Day quickly approaches, RE/MAX agents across the RE/MAX Central Atlantic Region are looking forward to participating in the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure®, May 11 in Washington D.C. This race kicks off the organizations national series of weekend races throughout the U.S., including the 16th annual Komen Central Virginia Race for the Cure®.
"Our partnership with Susan G. Komen® is one that resonates with so many agents in our region and across the U.S.," said Kevin Northrup, Vice President, RE/MAX Central Atlantic Region, covering Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C. and West Virginia. "I'm proud that RE/MAX Associates come together each year with relentless compassion for such an amazing cause, standing - or walking or running - in the face of adversity."
Many RE/MAX Associates have been affected one way or another by breast cancer, whether they're strong survivors themselves, or they have a friend or family member who's fighting the disease or has lost the battle. These races allow for champions to gather together in remembrance, and continue the fight.
RE/MAX has been a proud supporter of Susan G. Komen® since 2002, and over the past 11 years has participated in a number of programs that benefit its cause. In addition to being a national sponsor of Race for the Cure®, RE/MAX also contributes through its Home for the Cure® program, which allows agents and offices to pledge a donation following a property sale. Through these combined efforts, RE/MAX has raised more than $5 million for Susan G. Komen®.
A number of races will take place within the RE/MAX Central Atlantic Region every May and October. To find out how you can help or for a list of races in your area, please visit www.komen.org.
