July 16, 2024 // Franchising.com // MADISON, N.J. - 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.
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.”
“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 people it serves each year. Together, we’re empowering people with disabilities, families, and communities to be full and equal participants in society.”
