CENTURY 21 CEO Climbs for a Cause
2012 Climb for Kids Team Tackles Two Mountains in Mexico to Raise Money for Easter Seals (Parsippany, N.J., November 20, 2012) -- Century 21 Real Estate LLC, the franchisor of the world’s largest residential real estate sales organization, today announced that its president and CEO Rick Davidson will lead a team of climbers on the 2012 Climb for Kids with fundraising on behalf of Easter Seals. The team will attempt to summit two Mexican volcanos, Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccíhuatl, with a combined elevation of 35,650 feet. The team’s goal is to raise one dollar per foot of elevation climbed. Mr. Davidson’s annual fundraising expedition coincides with CENTURY 21 National Giving Month in November, and is designed to build awareness and raise funds in support of its philanthropic partner, Easter Seals’ Make the First Five Count® initiative. Every year, more than one million children with unidentified disabilities enter school with learning and health issues that put them far behind their peers and have a lasting, negative effect on their ability to meet their full potential. Through Make the First Five Count, Easter Seals is raising awareness of and advocating for early detection and early intervention services for kids who may be at risk for autism, developmental delays or other disabilities. “Easter Seals provides invaluable services to families in our local communities every day,” said Davidson who is also first vice-chair of the Easter Seals Board. “This climb is in support of their tireless work and ongoing dedication to serve those living with autism and other disabilities.” In addition to Rick Davidson, the 2012 Climb for Kids team includes:
