Century 21 Real Estate LLC recently announced that in 2020 the CENTURY 21® System collectively raised more than $2.5 million for Easterseals, an organization that for more than 100 years has been providing exceptional services, education, outreach and advocacy so people with disabilities can live, learn, work and thrive in their communities. Since the inception of this philanthropic partnership in 1979, the CENTURY 21 network’s independent franchisees and sales professionals have collaborated to raise a total of $129 million. As the brand celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2021, it also commemorates its 42 years of partnership with Easterseals, one of America’s largest nonprofit health care organizations providing comprehensive health care services and supports wellness to more than 1.5 million individuals with disabilities and their families annually.
“Easterseals is an integral part of our history of innovation and transforming the way real estate is done because they, like us, have affiliates in local communities that deliver extraordinary outcomes-based services and experiences to their customers, the one in four Americans living with disability today,” said Michael Miedler, president and chief executive officer of Century 21 Real Estate. “Helping others thrive is baked into the overall mindset of our family of sales professionals that call the CENTURY 21 brand home.”
“Our friends in the CENTURY 21 brand are truly relentless,” said Angela F. Williams, Easterseals president and CEO, referring to the $2.5 million raised during the pandemic. “We are grateful to the CENTURY 21 System for their commitment to Easterseals, ensuring that support for services critical to children and adults with disabilities—regardless of age or ability—is available so they are 100 percent included in their communities and 100 percent empowered to reach their potential in life.”

1. CENTURY 21 Town & Country; Utica, Mich.
2. CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company; Dallas, Texas
