RE/MAX - January 14, 2011 – Denver, CO - RE/MAX, LLC will be sponsoring an 18-city concert tour to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, an organization that RE/MAX and its agents worldwide have raised more than $100 million to support since 1992. The concert features 9-year-old child prodigy, musician, composer and actor Ethan Bortnick who is rapidly becoming an international sensation.

Ethan Bortnick made his national television debut on The Tonight Show featuring Jay Leno in 2007 and since then has been entertaining audiences around the world playing the piano and singing. Bortnick opted to do this special concert series to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals because his younger brother was once treated at a Children’s Hospital.

The concert will travel to 18 major markets including New York, Orlando, Seattle and Houston. Complimentary invites will go to 100 or more children treated by local Children’s Hospitals and their families. RE/MAX will host each concert that also will feature a short video of the very special partnership between the global real estate franchise and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. And Bortnick will visit the local Children’s Hospital in each city before the concert to meet hospitalized children and their families.

The tour begins Friday, January 14th in Naperville, IL and concludes with a concert in New Brunswick, NJ on April 10th. To find out more about the tour, see tour dates, or purchase tickets, visit www.ethanbortnick.com.  To find out more about RE/MAX, visit www.remax.com.
