 Yard Sale for the Cure
Presented by RE/MAX is May 29! Kelowna, BC (May 28, 2010) – RE/MAX is committed to creating a future without
breast cancer and the items you no longer need, can help. As the presenting
sponsor, RE/MAX is proud to announce this year’s Canadian Breast Cancer
Foundation’s Yard Sale for the Cure is to be held on Saturday, May 29, 2010. With a simple goal in mind, donate to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
to help find a cure, breast cancer survivor Rachael Smith and her husband,
Andrew Howard founded Yard Sale for the Cure in 2005 and raised $45,000 in the
first year. RE/MAX and its affiliates have dedicated themselves to this
outstanding event by promoting and hosting yard sales which have contributed
to the $650,000 that has been raised by Yard Sale for the Cure to date. “This year’s Yard Sale for the Cure promises to be more successful than ever with
so many opportunities to get involved,” said Marie Sheppy, Senior Coordinator,
Corporate Affairs, RE/MAX of Western Canada. “With an estimated 437
Canadian women being diagnosed with breast cancer every week and 104
women dying, so many of us have loved ones we know who’ve been touched
by breast cancer. As an organization, we have an obligation to do everything
we can to help fund the fight.” The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation provides the public with loads of tools to
help get involved with Yard Sale for the Cure. On their website,
www.cbcf.org/yardsale, each year you can register your yard sale as an official sale
and receive posters, yards signs, t-shirts and more, you can “Map It, Shop It!” to find
all local, official yard sales, and even get tips on how to host a yard sale. On
Saturday, May 29, 2010, is this year’s Yard Sale for the Cure, so encourage your
friends, family and neighbors to shop the Yard Sale for the Cure locations in your
area, volunteer at any of the official yard sales in your area, or visit your local
RE/MAX office hosting a yard sale for a larger-than-life experience. What started as a small local fundraiser in 2005 is now a massive national yard
sale, thanks to the committed RE/MAX Broker Owners, Sales Associates, and
support staff who have worked tirelessly to raise awareness and gain the support
of Canadians across the country. Breast cancer is the number two cause of
death among Canadian women today. Despite declining breast cancer death
rates, one in nine women is expected to develop breast cancer during their
lifetime and one in 28 will die of it. RE/MAX is Canada's leading real estate organization with over 17,500 sales

Cosmetic Improvements >Interior Decorating
Many people recognize a decorating style they like when they see it, but they find it difficult to combine colors, fabrics, furnishings and window treatments to create the total finished look they want.
Where can you find a good decorator? If you like the interior of your friends' home, ask them for recommendations. Many communities have decorator showcases where you can see first hand the work of several local designers. Furniture retailers sometimes hire professionals to assist their customers.
Before you commit to working with a designer or decorator, sit down and discuss your taste and goals, their fee structure, and your budget. Pay particular attention to whether the person is an active listener and communicates well. Whether you are trying to make your home look wonderful in order to sell it or want to fix up a new home, the investment in professional advice can save you costly mistakes and make your home a reflection of your good taste.
