Giving back to the community:

All of us in The HEIDI LUSSI Real Estate Team consider ourselves very fortunate and proud to work in such a vibrant community which is so supportive of our business. In recognition of this we feel it is important for us to find ways of giving back to the community we live and work in.

Spokes For Kids

RE/MAX is a major sponsor of the Children's Miracle Network. To-date Heidi and the team have successfully organized 3 annual bike-a-thons which have raised over $100,000 for the Children's Miracle Network.

Every year Heidi and other RE/MAX Realtors and friends from BC and Alberta cycle over 250 km down the Okanagan Valley, from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos, in order to raise funds for the Children's Miracle Network. All the riders collect pledges of support and train hard for this gruelling cycle over three days. However, it's also a fun event and riders return each year, bringing new friends!

In addition to personal pledges we also obtain sponsorships from our local business community - with 100% of all funds going directly to BC Children's Hospital.

We thank these generous sponsors of our 2008 bike-a-thon and gratefully display their logo's below. We would also like to thank Vernon's 105.7 SUN/FM radio for providing coverage of the event.

Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports

As an avid skier herself, Heidi is happy to be a regular sponsor and equipment donor to Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports (SSASS) at Silver Star Mountain Resort.

Founded in 1992 as a local association of volunteer instructors who wished to share their joy of snow sports by teaching people with disabilities, Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports (SSASS) provides ski and snowboard lessons for students of all ages with a variety of disabilities. SSASS is a non profit organization and registered charity, and a member of the Canadian Association of Disabled Skiers.
