Concerned by seeing innocent children being denied the opportunity to pursue their dreams due to illnesses and other obstacles, they decided to do something about it! Inspired by the hope and perseverance of these children and with the support of friends and volunteers drawn from the local business and professional community, a community event was organized to raise funds. "By combining fundraising for a terrific cause, a hobby you love, and some great publicity for your real estate brokerage, we were able to score this winning hat trick with the First Annual Children's Miracle Network/RE/MAX Premier Motorcycle Ride-a-thon and Festival.", Donegan says. SIGNIFICANT RESULTS Over the last five years, the motorcycle ride has raised over $120,000 for Children's Hospital in Washington D.C. Over the past 9 years RE/MAX Premier has raised over $390,000 for Children's Miracle Network thanks to the generosity of their agents and staff. RE/MAX Premier takes their relationship with CMN very seriously and thus is the exclusive real estate sponsor. Annually, the office is a top contributor for the children's charity. THIS YEAR'S PLANS Plans for this year's event are well underway, RE/MAX Premier's Tom Donegan expects the Rock-n-Ride to attract even more in 2007 in terms of participants, community attention, and dollars for the Children's Miracle Network.  This year's event will be conducted in partnership with the Loudoun County Crime Commissions and the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department -- which will feature a motorcycle display and equipment demonstrations. The Rock 'n Ride will sponsor food vendors and a silent auction featuring sports and Hollywood memorabilia -- plus great music from the classic rock band WildCard.
