RE/MAX® Receives Corporate Citizen Award

RE/MAX® Receives Corporate Citizen Award

Kelowna, BC (May 5, 2010) – RE/MAX of Western Canada is a proud recipient of the 2009
Corporate Citizen Award presented by The BC Transplant Society. For six years RE/MAX® has
promoted organ donor awareness by spreading the word on the need for organ donation with
sponsored ad campaigns, direct press releases, an agent education program and website links to
the transplant registration websites www.transplant.ca and www.liveon.ca.

RE/MAX of Western Canada’s latest addition to help promote the cause is the sponsorship of
www.LiveOn.ca recently launched as a touch point to facilitate easy access to registration
information for each provincial transplant agency. As a result of ongoing community support
and awareness, the BC Transplant Society performed an amazing 211 organ transplants in 2009.
With the critical shortage in registered organ donors in BC, the average person is far more likely
to need an organ transplant than to be eligible to donate an organ. “We are proud to share the
recognition of this Corporate Citizen Award with all RE/MAX® associates in Western Canada,”
says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President for RE/MAX of Western Canada. “As an
organization, we have an obligation to raise public awareness and support this life-saving cause
in the hopes of encouraging others to register as an organ donor.” Registering your decision to
become an organ donor can save up to eight lives and improve the quality of life for up to 80
others.
