Giving Back
Giving Back | Erik Taylor RE/MAX
Supporting youth sports, local organizations, children's charities, healthcare initiatives and community programs.
Updated September 2026
Giving back is part of who we are.
Real estate has given us the opportunity to build a business in the communities we serve. Giving back is one way we can say thank you.
From coaching youth soccer and sponsoring local sports to supporting children's charities, healthcare initiatives and community fundraisers, Erik Taylor RE/MAX has been proud to contribute to organizations making a difference for families throughout Milton, the GTA and beyond.
For us, community isn't a marketing slogan. It's where we live, work, raise our families and build relationships.
Community Involvement at a Glance
10+ Years of Community Support
Supporting charitable and community initiatives.
BaseballMilton Support Since 2016
A long-standing commitment to local youth baseball.
Volunteer Youth Coaching
Multiple seasons spent working directly with young athletes.
Local & Beyond
Supporting youth sports, children's charities, healthcare and community programs.
Some of these connections are especially personal. Others have given us the opportunity to support organizations whose work reaches children and families well beyond our immediate community.
What connects them all is a belief that strong communities are built when people, families, volunteers and local businesses choose to participate.
More Than a Sponsor — Getting Involved
Some of Erik's most rewarding community involvement has happened on the soccer field.
As a recreational volunteer youth soccer coach, Erik has spent multiple seasons working directly with young athletes and seeing firsthand how sports can build confidence, friendships, discipline, teamwork and resilience.
It's one thing to support youth sports financially. It's another to be on the field week after week helping young players learn, improve and enjoy being part of a team.

Why Youth Sports Matter to Us
Organized sports give young people opportunities to stay active, build confidence, create friendships and learn lessons that extend far beyond the field.
Supporting those opportunities — both as a sponsor and a volunteer — has become an important part of our community involvement.
Milton Under the Lights
Erik Taylor RE/MAX has also been proud to support Milton Under the Lights, a youth flag football program for boys and girls.
Programs like this provide young athletes with another way to participate in organized sports while developing athletic ability, confidence, sportsmanship and teamwork.
Supporting youth programs helps create more opportunities for children to stay active, meet new friends and feel connected to their community.
Supporting Families When They Need It Most
The Darling Home for Kids
The Darling Home for Kids is one of the organizations we have been especially proud to support.
The organization provides respite, residential and hospice palliative care services for children with complex medical needs while also supporting their families.
Organizations like The Darling Home for Kids remind us that community support can have a meaningful impact during some of the most difficult circumstances a family may ever face.
Helping children and families has remained an important part of our charitable involvement.
We are grateful for the opportunity to support organizations doing meaningful work for families who need care, compassion and assistance.
Creating Special Moments for Children
Make-A-Wish
We have also been proud to support Make-A-Wish, an organization dedicated to creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Supporting children's charities has always been especially meaningful because their work can bring joy, hope and memorable experiences to children and families during incredibly challenging times.
A Long-Term Commitment to Youth Baseball
BaseballMilton
BaseballMilton, also known as the Milton Minor Baseball Association, provides baseball opportunities for boys and girls across a variety of age groups and levels of competition.
Erik Taylor RE/MAX has proudly supported BaseballMilton since 2016.
That long-term relationship is important to us because community involvement shouldn't simply be about supporting an organization once.
Local sports organizations rely on the continued efforts of families, volunteers, coaches, sponsors and businesses to keep programs strong and accessible for future generations of young athletes.
Making the Holidays Brighter
CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish
The holiday season provides another opportunity to help children and families who may need a little extra support.
Through our involvement with the CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish, a gift has been donated in connection with homes bought or sold with us as part of our annual holiday giving.
It is a simple but meaningful way to connect the success of our real estate business with an opportunity to brighten the holidays for someone else.
When a Neighbourhood Comes Together
Team Garber's Charity Haunted House
Some of the most meaningful community initiatives start right within a neighbourhood.
Team Garber's Charity Haunted House has brought Halloween fun to Milton's Beaty neighbourhood while raising money and awareness for The Kidney Foundation of Canada.
Over the years, we have been pleased to support and help promote the event and the charitable cause behind it.
Events like this show how much can happen when neighbours, families and local supporters come together around a good cause.
Supporting Local Healthcare
Milton District Hospital Foundation
Strong healthcare services are an essential part of every growing community.
Erik Taylor RE/MAX supported the Milton District Hospital Foundation through its Breakfast with Santa fundraising initiative and was a consecutive donor from 2014 through 2022, including the years leading up to the hospital expansion.
As Milton has grown, access to quality local healthcare has become increasingly important to the families who live here.
Supporting the hospital foundation was one way to contribute to an organization whose work directly affects families throughout the community.
Community. Relationships. Real Estate.
Real estate is ultimately about people.
After many years in the business, we've learned that the relationships built with clients, families, neighbourhoods and community organizations mean far more than any individual transaction.
Our connection to the communities we serve extends beyond helping people buy and sell homes. It includes coaching young athletes, supporting youth sports, contributing to children's charities, participating in community initiatives and supporting organizations that help families when they need it most.
For Erik Taylor & Associates – RE/MAX Realty Specialists Inc, giving back is one way of showing appreciation for the communities and clients who have supported our business throughout the years.
We're proud of what we've been able to support and grateful to the clients whose trust in Erik Taylor RE/MAX has helped make that support possible.
Our Commitment to Community
Strong communities aren't built by any one person or organization. They're built by people choosing to participate.
We are grateful for the volunteers, coaches, families, charities, healthcare organizations and community groups that dedicate their time to helping others.
We look forward to continuing to support meaningful initiatives and adding new chapters to this page in the years ahead.
