The Century 21 network will participate in the brand's International Week of Giving to benefit communities in markets around the world.
MADISON, NJ (July 15, 2024) — Century 21 Real Estate LLC today announced the CENTURY 21® system's third annual fundraising drive to support the communities served by the brand's global network of independent agents and brokers. In 2022, Century 21 Real Estate reimagined its brand anniversary as the first-ever International Day of Giving, showcasing community giving efforts by CENTURY 21 network members around the world. Building on its success, the initiative has expanded to a full week in 2023. This year, CENTURY 21 branded businesses around the world will again host charitable drives during the week of July 21-26 to support causes important to their agents and communities, including homelessness, food insecurity, disaster relief, education, health and the environment. “It's often said that real estate is a very local profession, focused on supporting homeownership, and that's true. “But this expression also speaks to the CENTURY 21 network's commitment to uplifting the individual communities it serves,” said Mike Meadler, president and CEO of CENTURY 21 Real Estate LLC. “Brokers and agents affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand don't just serve cities and towns, they live in them, working tirelessly to make them a better place for everyone. Time and time again, we see the CENTURY 21 family go above and beyond to support their neighbors, friends and the underrepresented communities that need it most.” In addition to local brokerage efforts, the CENTURY 21 brand and many of its independent brokers have supported Easter Seals Charities for more than 40 years. “For the CENTURY 21 brand, supporting the communities we serve is part of our DNA, and our 45-year commitment to Easter Seals is a true testament to that,” said Greg Sexton, COO of CENTURY 21 Real Estate LLC, who was appointed to the Easter Seals National Board of Directors in 2023. “I am so proud of the tireless efforts of our brokers and agents in the CENTURY 21 network, who not only raise funds but also raise awareness for the important work of this incredible organization. Last year, I had the honor of working more closely with Kendra Davenport and her expanded leadership team to create synergies that will increase the organization's impact to the more than 1.5 million people Easter Seals helps each year.” In 2023, the CENTURY 21® system will raise approximately $3.1 million for Easter Seals, improving the quality of life for veterans and people with disabilities, including seniors, and expanding access to health care, education and employment, bringing the total fundraising to date to $138.5 million. “As our longest-standing traditional charity partner, the CENTURY 21® brand and its network have been loyal supporters of Easter Seals since 1979,” said Kendra Davenport, president and CEO of Easter Seals. “After 45 years, we are still amazed at how local brokerages affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand across North America continue to make extraordinary efforts, from annual fundraising campaigns to unique charity events. With the brand's long-standing support, Easter Seals has made great strides in fulfilling its mission to serve more than 1.5 million people each year, improving quality of life and expanding local access to healthcare, education and employment opportunities. Together, we help people with disabilities, families and communities to participate fully and equally in society.” Throughout the year, companies affiliated with the C21® brand host a variety of events that engage members of their communities to support Easter Seals and other local charity organizations.
Century 21 Novas “Shields Reel”
Century 21 Novus Reels for Seals is an annual fishing tournament held on Lake Wedowee in Alabama, now in its ninth year. This year was the best event yet, raising $27,000 in support of Easterseals North Georgia. In fact, in recognition of the brokers' efforts, an Easterseals affiliate dedicated an auditorium at their local facility to Century 21 Novus. “We designed Reels for Seals to resonate with parents and kids and to create a fun way for families to give back while having fun together,” says Rhett Harmon, broker and owner of Century 21 Novus.
Century 21 Affiliate Golf Classic
The fourth annual charity golf tournament, hosted by brokers to support Homes Giving Hope, a nonprofit organization that provides assisted independent living services to adults with special abilities, raised $45,344 this year. The Affiliated Family Foundation is a private 501(c)(3) charitable organization established to encourage the generous agents and brokers of CENTURY 21 Affiliated to give back to their communities in meaningful and collaborative ways. “In addition to helping our clients with every real estate transaction, CENTURY 21 Affiliated is committed to helping the communities we serve thrive,” said Dan Kruse, CEO and owner of CENTURY 21 Affiliated. “We do our part to care for those around us by making a variety of charitable donations.”
Century 21 Bryanston, South Africa

CENTURY 21 global network events and volunteer efforts during International Giving Week will be showcased through the #C21WithYou social media campaign across brand-owned and franchised channels throughout the week of July 21-26, 2024.
