Carmen Patty, Hayden Brown and Lisa Brown take a break from working at Chambliss Center on Keller Williams RED Day.
Nearly 100 Keller Williams Downtown Chattanooga agents and employees came to the Chambliss Center for Children campus Thursday for their annual RED Day.
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 organizations and causes in their communities.
The volunteers who came to Chambliss Center for Children tackled interior projects such as cleaning, painting, replacing ceiling tiles and organizing closets. Exterior projects included pressure washing sidewalks, mulching playgrounds, trimming hedges and cleaning the pool.
“The folks from Keller Williams arrive bright and early ready to work hard,” said Lesley Berryhill, director of communications for Chambliss Center for Children. “Many have come here for years, while others are first-time volunteers with us. You can tell they enjoy working as a team to get the job done.”
