Introduced in 2009, RED Day, which stands for Renew, Energize and Donate, is Keller Williams Realty's annual day of service. Each year on the second Thursday of May, associates spend the day away from their businesses serving worthy organizations and causes in their communities. RED Day is just another example of our commitment to each other and to the cities and towns where we live and work. Join us!
At Keller Williams Realty, we believe in "Giving Where We Live!" Here?s everything you need to know about the event and how you can get involved.
A: RED Day occurs on the second Thursday of May. This year?s RED Day will happen on May 8, 2014.
A: Generally, Keller Williams market centers appoint a Regional RED Day or Market Center RED Day Representative to be the point people for each market center and region across the globe. This point person will have more information on RED Day and will be able to provide you with details about their specific event.
A: Every market center is encouraged to participate in RED Day. Then get in contact with your team leader or Market Center RED Day Representative to find out what you?re market center is doing this year. If for some reason you?re market is not participating in RED Day, please get in contact your Regional RED Day representative to find out what other market centers in your area are doing to help.

A: In order for RED Day to be successful, it is crucial that each market center adequately plan for this event. It may be challenging to find community projects that can actively engage large amounts of people at the same time, so careful consideration when selecting your RED Day project is a MUST. Once an activity is chosen, diligent planning will ensure maximum impact from your activity. Below is the suggested RED Day planning schedule: Now to March 2012 Form a RED Day committee to identify an activity and to plan the event. Communicate RED Day plans to market center associates and save date on market center and associate calendars. April 2012 - May 10,2012 Gather sponsors to contribute food, beverages, tools and any other items needed to conduct the event. Plan event logistics (i.e. Who is going to pick up food? What tools are needed? If multiple projects are selected, who is going to lead each project? What is the parking situation?)
A: Given volunteer constraints on some projects, please check with your RED Day committee or market center leadership before inviting others to participate on RED Day. RED Day is an excellent opportunity to highlight the unique culture of Keller Williams to your clients, friends and family. Use the RED Day Drip Campaign located on this site under the "Marketing Materials" tab to send out emails to your database on a regular basis.
A: Our vision for RED Day is that each market center should make this day their own by contributing to their community in a service project of their choice. The only criteria for selecting an activity, is that it improves the local community. While not required, we recommend finding a location large enough to engage all associates who wish to participate. This will ensure maximum impact on the community, while creating synergy and camaraderie.
