RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Night raises over $140,000 in support of Children’s Miracle Network
Calgary, Alta. – The Western Hockey League announced today that over $140,000 has been raised in support of Children’s Miracle Network through the RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Night campaign.
From November through March, RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Nights for Children’s Miracle Network brought to WHL arenas the fun, irreverent energy, and characters of some of Nickelodeon’s most popular franchises, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PAW Patrol (produced by Spin Master Entertainment), and Blue’s Clues and You!, among others.
Through the auctioning of special theme jerseys and other fundraising initiatives tied to the campaign, WHL Clubs collectively raised $140,360 in support of Children’s Miracle Network.
Over two years of the campaign, RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Night has generated nearly $300,000 in support of Children’s Miracle Network. The charitable initiative driven by RE/MAX in partnership with Paramount Global, the parent company of global kids and family brand Nickelodeon, debuted during the 2022-23 WHL Regular Season.
“At RE/MAX, our priority is ‘home’ and a big part of that is contributing to the communities in which we live and work, including our continued collaboration with the WHL and our ongoing support of the Children’s Miracle Network,” said Christopher Alexander, President of RE/MAX Canada. “The money raised through this initiative will go a long way toward supporting our communities while highlighting the life-saving work that CMN hospitals do.”
“RE/MAX has been a supportive partner of the Children’s Miracle Network for 32 years, and a true innovator in engaging Canadians with the cause of children’s healthcare and raising funds for local Children’s hospital foundations,” notes Adam Starkman, President and CEO at Canada’s Children’s Hospital Foundations. “The RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Night for Children’s Miracle Network program, done in partnership with the Western Hockey League, is a great example, bringing the needs of local hospital foundations in Western Canada right into the hockey arena, and achieving incredible success in a very short time. We appreciate how this collaboration continues to raise funds and look forward to its continued success.”
“Alongside our longstanding sponsor RE/MAX, the WHL is proud to deliver important support to Children’s Miracle Network through our unique theme night program with Nickelodeon,” commented WHL Commissioner Dan Near. “RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Night for Children’s Miracle Network brought tremendous energy to WHL arenas and, most importantly, it continues to generate financial support for local children’s hospitals throughout Western Canada.”
Across 16 Canadian markets, WHL Clubs celebrated a Nickelodeon theme night, complete with special theme jerseys, branded creative, video content, music, and in-game activations. Funds raised through RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Nights for Children’s Miracle Network will go towards supporting local children’s hospitals in Western Canada, including the BC Children’s Hospital, Stollery Children’s Hospital, Alberta Children’s Hospital, Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Manitoba.
The Children’s Miracle Network strives to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment, and research. Its various fundraising partners and programs support the mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
