RE/MAX Alliance’s 18th Annual Charity Golf Tournament Raises Over $70,000 for Children’s Hospital!


RE/MAX Alliance is pleased to announce their annual Charity Golf Tournament, supporting the Children’s’ Miracle Network, has been another great success. This year’s tournament, held on August 8th, 2011 at the Riverdale Dunes and Knolls Golf Club in Brighton, Colorado, raised a record-breaking amount of $70,607. 100% of the proceeds raised by the golf tournament go to Children's Hospital in Denver.

The RE/MAX Alliance Children's Miracle Network Golf Tournament has always been about giving back to the children in the community while enjoying a great day of golf at the same time. Real estate associates, community members, business sponsors, and a handful of very special Children's Miracle Network Champions all participated to make this a record-breaking year. Last year’s tournament raised just over $68,000.
"This is a fantastic tournament and a great way to spend the day," said Ben McMahon, President of Colorado Mortgage Alliance, LLC. "I have been fortunate for the past 6 years to participate as a golfer and a sponsor, and I look forward to this event each year. The Children's Miracle Network is an outstanding organization and it's a special feeling knowing that this day is really all about the kids!"

Participants enjoyed a beautiful day of golf; RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon rides, silent auction items including 4 tickets to the Wildlife Experience, Denver Zoo family 4-pack, $200 Beau Jo’s Pizza party, and a 5 night stay at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa on Oahu Hawaii, and a delicious lunch served by Colorado based Smiling Moose Deli and Wal Mart in Brighton. Each participant also received a grab bag, complimentary breakfast, a great dinner buffet and had the opportunity to meet the families who brought their amazing children who have benefitted from Children's Hospital.

RE/MAX Alliance would like to give a special thanks to everyone who participated by sponsoring a hole, a red wagon, playing in the tournament, purchased golf balls for the golf ball drop, provided lunch, and volunteered to make this another successful and record-breaking year. We could not have done it without your support, hard work and caring hearts.

“We are so humbled by the generosity of those who gave in so many ways to help support and raise awareness for such an amazing charity,” said Chad Ochsner, Broker Owner of RE/MAX Alliance. “Each year, Children’s Miracle Network hospitals provide more than $2.5 billion in charitable care. To see the ear-to-ear smiles on the faces of children who have benefited from the Children’s Miracle Network just reinforces why we give to Children’s Miracle Network, and the reason we do this year after year.”
