When Real Estate Meets Real Impact

There are days in this business that remind us why community is at the heart of everything we do. April 30, 2026, was definitely one of those days.

Agents, staff, and dedicated business partners from REMAX Essential, REMAX Southern Shores, and REMAX Professionals gathered at the beautiful Legend Oaks Golf Course in Summerville for our Annual CMN Charity Golf Tournament. When the final tallies were calculated, our collective efforts raised $16,200 for the Children's Miracle Network, with 100% of the proceeds directly benefiting the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital right here in South Carolina.

It was a phenomenal day on the green, resulting in an impact worth shouting about.

The Day on the Green

Legend Oaks Golf Course provided a spectacular backdrop for a morning that seamlessly balanced friendly sporting competition with genuine philanthropic spirit. Players checked in at 9:00 a.m., and the 10:00 a.m. shotgun start sent teams out across the fairways with a singular, shared mission: have an exceptional time while raising critical funds for local pediatric health.

The tournament was proudly presented by the combined forces of RE/MAX Essential, Southern Shores, and Professionals alongside our co-presenting partner, D.R. Horton — America's Builder. Their remarkable generosity and organizational alignment anchored the day's structural success.

Between individual player registrations at $125, four-player team packages at $500, and a robust showing from local corporate sponsors, the final $16,200 raise exceeded initial benchmarks. These funds will immediately pivot to support frontline care for children and families navigating complex medical journeys across the Carolinas.

Proof of Miracles: The Foxwell Brothers

There are stories that touch your heart, and then there are stories that stay with you forever. The Foxwell brothers are a true testament to the power of family and the miracles that happen every day at our local children's hospitals.

When Jaxson was diagnosed with cancer at just 3 years old, the critical search for a bone marrow donor began. It turned out his hero was already right there at home: his younger brother, Braxton, was a perfect match. Today, Braxton proudly tells anyone who will listen that he saved his brother’s life—and watching them together reveals a bond of unconditional love that is simply beautiful.

We were deeply honored to feature these two at our 2026 tournament. Jaxson and Braxton represent the exact "why" behind our fundraising mission. They remind us that we aren't just real estate agents moving transactions; we are neighbors dedicated to the genuine care and long-term protection of our community.

Thank you, Jaxson and Braxton, for sharing your light with all of us on the course. You are the living proof that when a community works together, we can truly change lives.

Why Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital Matters

The MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital stands as South Carolina's premier freestanding pediatric medical facility. It delivers world-class, specialized treatment to young patients from across the region. As an integral arm of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, our tournament raises every dollar locally. These funds directly source advanced medical equipment, support innovative therapeutic programming, and alleviate financial strain for local families.

For our brokerage network spanning the Grand Strand, the Lowcountry, and the Pee Dee, supporting this institution isn't just an annual corporate checkbox—it's deeply personal.

A Community That Shows Up

High-impact charity tournaments do not happen in a vacuum. They require individuals willing to offer up their time, resources, and competitive energy for a cause greater than a standard real estate transaction.

A well-deserved shoutout goes directly to our tournament event coordinator, Erica Phillips, and the entire volunteer staff who managed course logistics flawlessly from check-in to the final awards ceremony. To our co-presenting sponsor, D.R. Horton—your partnership in the Carolinas continues to redefine what corporate citizenship looks like.
