Seventh Annual 'RED Day' Lends a Hand in Salem

Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem gets some help from Keller Williams Realty part of community service initiative across the globe.

Keller Williams associates took the day off on May 14, 2015, to participate in “Give Where They Live” as part of RED Day, the company’s annual day of service, dedicated to renewing, energizing, and donating to their local communities, according to a press statement.

As part of the RED Day effort, Keller Williams Realty chose to spend the day with Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem on Geremonty Drive. The Boys & Girls Club offers programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow — all while having fun. It is truly The Positive Place For Kids.

“RED Day is built on the belief that people can and should come together to achieve extraordinary things to help others,”said Managing Broker Allison Mundry. “We all know that filling all the gaps in our communities can’t be accomplished by serving just once a year. RED Day just happens to be the one-day expression of the constant state of the Keller Williams culture. We see a need, discover who can meet it and get it done.”
