RED Day stands for Renew, Energize and Donate. It's a special annual Keller Williams event about giving back to the community. It is an initiative dedicated to celebrating the organization's year-round commitment to improving its local communities.
Red Day is dedicated in honor of Keller Williams Realty's Vice Chairman of the Board, Mo Anderson. With her continuous leadership, she has inspired thousands of associates to maintain high standards of character in both their personal and professional lives.
This year, last May 12, 2011, tens of thousands Keller Williams associates from across the United States and Canada participated in a wide range of projects, devoting their time to renewing and energizing aspects of the neighborhood in which they are a part of. Projects are chosen by each individual market center based on the need they see within their community. Rebuilding homes, refurbishing local parks, giving to local food shelters, hosting blood drives, beautifying beaches - to name a few were some of the undertakings of the different market centers.
Keller Williams - Alaska Group has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to build homes in Anchorage. We had a Ground Breaking activity in preparation for building a home for a family held last 12th of May as part of our Red Day commitment. In addition to providing thousands of volunteer hours, we are also committed to raising $100,000 to fund this project. This will be a continuous project in the next coming months. We welcome volunteers for this project or if you want to make monetary contributions, please contact me.
In line with raising funds for Habitat for Humanity, Keller Williams - Alaska Group will also be presenting a Professional Poker Seminar and Tournament for the benefit of Habitat for Humanity. This will be held this coming Saturday, May 21st at 188 W. Northern Lights on the 10th floor. This is the building on the corner of Northern Lights and C street right next to the Keller Willams office. The Poker Seminar will be hosted by Professional Poker Player Gavin Smith. Gavin has won over $5 million dollars in tournament winnings and is a World Series of Poker bracelet winner and a World Poker Tour champion. He is also featured regularly on NBC TV's Poker After Dark series. Following the Seminar there will be a dinner buffet catered by Ruby's cafe. After the seminar and buffet there will be a free No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Poker tournament with some incredible prizes. You can get the tickets for $200 – if you buy in advance but if you buy tickets on the day itself – it will be at $250. All proceeds from this event will be for the sole benefit of Habitat for Humanity.
At Keller Williams, we believe in giving back to our community. We are honored to be able to do incredible acts of service for our community. If you want to be a part of this fantastic opportunity, please call me at 242-7653. You may be a volunteer or just someone who is eager to help. However you choose to get involved, every little bit counts. It will surely bring our community closer together.
