Proceeds from Second-Annual System-Wide Initiative to Benefit Communities Across the Country and Around the World

MADISON, N.J., July 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Century 21 Real Estate LLC today announced the CENTURY 21^® System's second annual fundraising effort in support of local communities served by the brand's global network of affiliated agents and brokers. Last year, the franchisor hosted its first-ever International Day of Giving coinciding with its brand anniversary date. Based on its success, this year's initiative has been expanded.

During the week of July 24-28, CENTURY 21 affiliated companies across the brand's network will host fundraising activities to support causes important to the agents and communities including homelessness, food insecurity, disaster relief, education, health, the environment and more.

"As a network of real estate professionals, the CENTURY 21 brand is committed to elevating communities across the country and around the world," said Mike Miedler, President and CEO, Century 21 Real Estate LLC. "As integral members of the neighborhoods they serve, this commitment goes far beyond just helping them achieve the dream of homeownership. It also means stepping up when your neighbors, your friends and those underrepresented communities are most in need. We are thrilled to celebrate the CENTURY 21 International Week of Giving held during July 24-28 by highlighting the amazing efforts that our relentless CENTURY 21 affiliated brokers and agents are putting forward every single day to make a true local impact."

In addition to local brokerage efforts, the CENTURY 21 brand as well as many of its affiliated companies have supported the Easterseals charitable organization for more than 40 years. In 2022 the CENTURY 21^® System raised $3.2 million for Easterseals, to enhance quality of life and expand access to healthcare, education and employment for millions of people with disabilities, including veterans and senior citizens. Since this philanthropic relationship began in 1979, the CENTURY 21 System has raised a total of $135.4 million for the Easterseals.

As part of its 2023 International Week of Giving efforts, the CENTURY 21 System will host a donation drive with the brand matching all contributions made to Easterseals at Easterseals.com/C21Giving during that week, up to $50,000.

"We are incredibly thankful to the CENTURY 21^® brand and its network members for their longtime commitment to Easterseals," said Easterseals president and CEO Kendra Davenport. "We continue to be amazed by the extraordinary efforts of CENTURY 21 affiliated brokers and agents across North America – from annual fundraising campaigns to the unique charity events they put together. Along with their support, Easterseals is leading the way to full equity, inclusion, and access through life-changing disability and community services. Together, we're empowering people with disabilities, families, and communities to be full and equal participants in society."

Each year, CENTURY 21 affiliates plan a variety of events to engage their local community members in support of Easterseals. CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company in Dallas, Texas, is consistently one of the system's top fundraising brokerages. Since affiliating with the brand in 1997, the company has raised nearly $4 million for Easterseals initially with an annual golf tournament which later evolved into a dinner auction and has become one of the must-attend events in its market raising approximately $365,000 last year, with a goal of reaching $500,000 at the 2023 event this fall.

"We always set very high targets," explained broker-owner Jim Fite. "The committee is very involved in planning this event and I am so proud of their efforts, which make such a difference for people served by Easterseals."

The global network's CENTURY 21 International Week of Giving events and volunteer efforts will be highlighted across the brand's owned social media channels throughout the week.
