Red Day Thursday May 12th

RED DAY -


WHAT IS RED DAY?

RED Day (Renew, Energize and Donate) is an initiative dedicated to celebrating Keller Williams Realty’s year-round commitment to improving our local communities.  Each year, on the second Thursday in May, tens of thousands of associates from across the United States and Canada participate in a wide range of projects, devoting their time to renewing and energizing aspects of the neighborhoods in which they serve.

RED Day initiatives run the gamut: From rebuilding homes, refurbishing local parks, giving to local food shelters, hosting blood drives, beautifying beaches and so much more. Projects are chosen by each individual market center based on a need they see within their community.

Recognizing her leadership in guiding the culture of our company, RED Day is held in honor of Mo Anderson, vice chairman of the board, Keller Williams Realty. This event is an entrenched part of Keller Williams Realty’s culture and displays the extraordinary effect a company can have when individuals come together to work as a team for the greater good of everyone.

This year the Keller Williams offices in the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs, CA) will be helping refurbish and freshen up a group home for project Angel View in the community of Thousand Palms, CA.  Hundreds of agents, support staff and industry partners will help put a fresh face on a residence that Project Angel view operates for disabled adults.

Ask me how you can help!
