Ontario‐Atlantic Canada. “We’re proud to take a proactive role in leveraging the resources of our Canadian network and our position within local communities to save lives. We feel Yard Sale is more

Yard Sale for the Cure funds the most promising *** cancer research in communities across the
country and raises awareness about *** cancer. RE/MAX has been involved with the Canadian
*** Cancer Foundation since 2004. The company also introduced its exclusive “Sold on a Cure”
program to help raise additional funds for the charity. The program allows participating agents to
make a donation to the Canadian *** Cancer Foundation whenever they help a client buy or sell a
home.
“RE/MAX is leading the way to a future without *** cancer,” says Sandra Palmaro, CEO of the
Canadian *** Cancer Foundation. “The Foundation is so proud to have such a committed partner.
Since 2004, RE/MAX has contributed over $1.2 million to *** cancer research that is making real
change happen.”
