ST. GEORGE – Keller Williams Realty associates may be taking the day off on Thursday, May 12, but it will hardly be a day of rest. Associates with the Keller Williams Realty St. George have chosen to “Give Where They Live” as part of RED Day, one of the biggest events in the real estate industry.

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

As part of the RED Day effort, Keller Williams Realty St. George has chosen to spend the day with Dixie Care & Share, at 145 North 300 West from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday May 12.

Dixie Care & Share is an organization of community, an idea created to help those in need. The facility creates a way to bring together community resources to operate food banks and emergency shelters in St. George and Hurricane. It also helps those who need education about how to work with others, those who need to be healed, and those who need to learn about a new job or a new path in life.

“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. We can’t tell you what an impact this makes on each of us personally – it feels so great to give back to the community we know and love,” said Team Leader Joe Langston.

During RED Day 2010, over 35,000 Keller Williams associates participated in activities ranging from food and blood drives, to cleaning up trash in public parks, doing yard work for neighbors in need or revamping gardens at nursing homes totaling more than 150,000 hours of service, making RED Day one of the biggest events in the real estate industry.
