CENTURY 21 Heritage Group raises Over $11,000 For Easter Seals
The Celebrity Hockey Classic in support of Easter Seals has gone virtual for 2020, and this did not slow down CENTURY 21 Heritage Group’s effort in raising funds for the in-need Easter Seals kids and their families. The annual hockey tournament usually takes place on a local ice rink with a NHL Alumni drafted to each team, but to keep all players safe the event has been postponed.
Instead of an in-person event, the fundraisers had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a York-Simcoe Virtual Draft via Zoom. Ken Reid, Sportsnet Central, hosted the live event joined by the former professional hockey player- Wendal Clark, Doug Gilmour, and Kirk Muller. They shared stories from their past NHL days then the 12 fundraising teams drafted their former NHL alumni.
The C21 Heritage Group team was thrilled to have raised over $11,000 to help children living with disabilities in their community. Their relentless effort to fundraise allowed them to draft former Toronto Maple Leafs player Steve Thomas, aka ‘Stumpy’. Not only will Thomas play alongside the C21 Heritage Group team in the 2021 game, but he will also join them for an event in the summer of 2021. This new in-person celebrity experience was created to help further motivate fundraisers.
With COVID-19, C21 Heritage Group knew that raising funds for Easter Seals kids would be even more important this year. The pandemic has forced many kids and their families to make major adjustments in their lives, and the need for equipment is greater than ever before. The money raised by the C21 Heritage Group and the Celebrity Hockey Classic will go towards supporting these children living with disabilities and getting them the essential specialized equipment they need.
“A huge thank you to all our REALTORS® at CENTURY 21 Heritage Group who helped out and donated this year!” – Eryn Richardson, CENTURY 21 Heritage Group

CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty Ltd. Raised $42,000 for Easter Seals
CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty Ltd. hosted the 15th Annual Showcase of Celebrities Golf Tournament in late September and helped raised $42,000 for Easter Seals.
This year’s event took place at the Bear Creek Golf Course in Barrie. ON and looked a little different than previous years. To keep everyone safe and distanced. there was no shotgun start or big dinner afterwards. and the number of volunteers had to be significantly reduced. However. the 160 players still enjoyed a beautiful sunny day on the golf course. They had delicious food. a silent auction. and a live raffle.
The silent auction and live raffle raised over $3000. but the B.J. Roth team was amazed with the amount of people who donated to raise funds for essential specialized equipment for Easter Seals kids. With the generous individual donations. they managed to raise enough money to purchase 2 walkers and 2 Splashies (a specialized unit for bathing a child with disabilities) averaging a total of $11.800.
Although. some of CENTURY 21 BJ. Roth Realty Ltd.’s fundraising events had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. the team continuously finds fun. creative. and safe ways to give back. earning them the #1 C21 Easter Seals fundraising company for 6 consecutive years.
“People like Casey MacKay are the reason we continue to support Easter Seals year after year. Easter Seals as an organization makes a difference in the lives of these children with disabilities, and through fundraiser such as this, is able to provide much needed equipment for the kids.” – Theresa Kerr, CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty Ltd.
“COVID truly had an impact on our kids and families and events like today, the fact that we can have it and raise some money, is really going to make a hug impact.” – Kevin Collins, President & CEO, Easter Seals Ontario
CENTURY 21 United Realty Inc. & Rotary Host 34th Annual Swimming Fundraiser Raising Over $45,000 For Easter Seals And The Rotary Club
On Friday, February 28, 2020, 20 teams braved the cold for the 34th annual Carl Oake Swimathon in Peterborough, ON. With the help of almost 100 swimmers, volunteers, and CENTURY 21 United Realty Inc., the event raised over $45,000 for Easter Seals and the Rotary Club of Peterborough. Since 1987, this event has raised over $1.2 million to help Canadians living with disabilities and to support local initiatives such as the school breakfast programs, the YMCA, and the Rotary Greenway Trail. Please join us in congratulating all participants, volunteers, and donators on another successful Swimathon!
Vanessa Oake Hogan of CENTURY 21 United Realty Inc. co-chaired the event, while her father Carl Oake, the founder of the event, was out of town. Carl started this event 34 years ago by getting his friends and family to donate 10 cents for every lap he swam. This year, his daughter Renee Oake took her father’s place and completed 136 lengths during the event.
This year a local Special Olympics team participated in the Swimathon. Wanting to give back to the organizations that have helped them succeed, they reached out to Vanessa to join this extraordinary event. Not only were they a top fundraising team, but they also swam the entire event while encouraging other participating teams.
“I am so grateful for the people of Peterborough coming together to give back to this community. With them braving the cold in their swimsuits and wacky outfits, we were able to raise over $45,000 to help our neighbours and Easter Seals participants” – Vanessa Oake Hogan, CENTURY 21 United Realty Inc.
