RED Day, a community service effort, in fact one of the biggest, promoted and carried out by the real estate industry will see some local focus in Lincoln Park as the Keller Williams Seattle Metro office in West Seattle gathers its associates for some park and beach clean up on Thursday, May 9.

Short for “Renew, Energize and Donate,” RED Day was created to unite Keller Williams Realty offices and associates in an international day of service.

The volunteers from Keller Williams will work with Seattle Parks and Recreation Department staff on beach and park clean up and shelter repairs.

“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,” said Anne Burke, Broker with Keller Williams. “Last year, we enjoyed working on the River City Skate park project. We can’t tell you what an impact it made on each of us personally − it felt so great to give back to the community we know and love.”

Since the first RED Day in 2009, Keller Williams associates have given almost a half million hours of community service through activities ranging from food and blood drives to cleaning up trash in public parks, revamping gardens at nursing homes and rebuilding homes and schools for community members in need.

The Keller Williams Realty Seattle Metro Market Center, located at 4452 California Ave SW Seattle WA 98116 is a full-service real estate firm with 114 sales associates.
