November 21, 2024, Toronto – Some lucky members of the nationwide CENTURY 21 Canada network are heading to Rogers Centre to attend Taylor Swift’s record-smashing Eras Tour, thanks to a fundraiser put on by the brand that raised just over $10,000 in support of Easter Seals Canada.
The opportunity came when Rogers Centre opened up more space for concert hopefuls, nearly one year after Swift announced her Toronto dates. Executive Vice President Todd Shyiak explains how lucky timing led the team at C21 Canada’s head office to seize the opportunity to bring some lucky network members to one of the most anticipated events of the year. “We were working with Rogers Centre on a different event when they opened more space and offered us the tickets. It was a quick decision, but we jumped at the chance to do something fun and exciting for our network, and we knew that this would be a great opportunity to do something good for our partners at Easter Seals Canada. The overwhelming generosity of our network proved us right!”’
Every CENTURY 21 Canada network member had one no-cost opportunity to enter the nationwide draw for ten pairs of tickets, but they had the option to sweeten the odds with extra entries for $21 each, with proceeds going to Easter Seals. Over $10,000 was raised, and the ten lucky winners were notified by a personal phone call from Todd himself.
“I am so excited to tell my daughter!” said winner Gurpreet Srah from CENTURY 21 Miller Real Estate in Oakville, ON, when she got the big call. “She was so sure I was going to win, but I told her there were a lot of C21-ers trying to get to the concert, so this has made my day. Thank you so much and thank you CENTURY 21 Canada!”
Outside of the draw, the C21 Canada team also gifted tickets to some special VIPs in the network, among them their 2024 Sales Associate of the Year, Kristie Cavanagh from CENTURY 21 Northern Choice Realty in Kenora, ON. “Excited is an understatement!” she says. “I’ve been trying to buy tickets to the Eras tour for several of the US, Australia, and Canada dates for the past two years and haven’t had any success. When I saw that CENTURY 21 Canada was doing a fundraiser for Easter Seals, I was so excited – a chance to win tickets and raise money for a good cause? Amazing job CENTURY 21 Canada, you’re making REALTOR’s dreams come true!”
The money raised will go towards helping the Easter Seals ‘Kids to Camp’ club, which sends kids and teens living with disabilities to fully accessible summer camps. Over their forty-year-long partnership, CENTURY 21 Canada has raised over $15 million in support of the work done by the charity.
