CENTURY 21 Canada offices raise record breaking $682,000 for local Easter Seals families and top international fundraising charts

Total donations enough to send over 320 kids living with disabilities to fully accessible summer camps.


Canadian CENTURY 21 members not only donated their highest ever amount to Easter Seals in 2015 – contributing an incredible $682,335 CAD – but represented nearly half of the top CENTURY 21 fundraising offices in North America. CENTURY 21 Canada™ founder U. Gary Charlwood personally presented the donation to Easter Seals National Ambassador 16-year old Brandon Liston at the company’s recent awards event in Moncton, New Brunswick.

“On behalf of all the kids like me, whose lives you are constantly changing, I want to thank you for another record-breaking year of fundraising,” said Liston, Easter Seals National Ambassador. “I am so proud to call myself your National Ambassador!”

Internationally, the CENTURY 21 System raised $2.9 million USD for Easter Seals families for the second year in a row – bringing the grand total raised by members to $114 million since 1979.

“We’re incredibly proud and blown away by our members’ dedication to Easter Seals families, they impact their local communities every year,” said Brian Rushton, executive vice president, CENTURY 21 Canada™. “Congratulations to all who contributed, you’re profoundly changing lives.
