Terilyn Walton from Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta was present at the RE/MAX Around Atlanta monthly office meeting on Tuesday to receive a very special presentation. The official results are in and the auction raised $25,000.00. Event chairpersons Tom and Kathy Peters, auctioneer Lucy Troutman and Brokers Sharon Dover and Cleve Gaddis presented Terilyn with the check. Terilyn commented that usually the first time a firm takes on a fundraiser of this magnitude the donation is generally in the $1,000 to $2,000 range. She was amazed at the success of this event.
So especially to Tom and Kathy Peters for all their hard work, Larry and Lucy Troutman of Atlanta Auction Company for their expert guidance, Food Service Action for donating the food and all the volunteers who work so diligently "Y’all Done Good".
Childrens Miracle Network Auction A Huge Success
October 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The conclusion to about six months of dedicated work by agents of RE/MAX Around Atlanta in conjunction with Larry and Lucy Troutman of Atlanta Auction Company was last night with the Children’s Miracle Network Auction. While the total’s are not in yet for how much money was raised, the enthusiasm of the crowd says it had to be a huge success. Several guest celebrities were on hand to help with the evenings events. Dave Butz, formerly of the Washington Redskins, was present and signed autographs for everyone and proudly displayed his Super Bowl Rings for all to see. Wes Sargenson of chanell 11, who is also a registered auctioneer, was present to assist and helped auction several of the evenings premier items. Items included in the auction were sports memorabilia, trips, jewelry, antiques, golf clubs, spa certificates and glassware. Rumor has it that this is being considered as the first in what many will want as an annual event.
The Aurora Theatre in downtown Lawrenceville hosted the evenings gala affair and was considered by all to be an almost perfect venue with it’s theater seating and excellent viewing for all.
Where Does The Money Go?

Today myself and six other agents from RE/MAX Around Atlanta toured a portion of the facility at Scottish Rite Campus of Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta. We started our tour at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and saw, in practice the care that these newborn babies were being given.
Next our tour took us to the Pediatric intensive Care Unit (PICU). Patients in this unit age from newly born to 21 years of age. With the vast difference in ages as well as developement of the body over these ages can you imagine how many different size blood pressure cuffs are required. The smallest would be comfortable around an adult finger. Different size blood pressure cuffs are just one of the many attentions to detail that a childrens hospital has to be concerned with.
The final portion of our tour was to the rehabilitation unit. We found out that the average stay of patients in this unit is six weeks. The rehabilitation services offered at Scottish Rite include everything from physical therapy to speach therapy and everything in between. We were impressed to see how the rehabilitaion not only included the patient but included the rest of the family as well.
One fact that was pointed out is that no child is refused treatment at the Childrens Heathcare of Atlanta facilities. Last year over 81 million dollars of unreembursed services were administed at these Atlanta Hospitals to children from all over the area.
After our short tour of the facility I think it is safe to say that our commitment to the auction to benefit Childrens Miracle Network and Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta on October 27, 2007 has been reinforced.
