RED DAY 2017 Recap!
Give where you live!
Every year Keller Williams agents around the world give back to their communities on the second Thursday of May! We stop business to make sure that our community knows we care and 2017 was an incredible one! This year, Keller Williams and many vendors donated their time and resources to remodel many areas of the Springfield Dream Center. The Springfield Dream Center is a non-profit that provides MANY different services to help bridge gaps for families in poverty. It helps connect people to the resources and tools that they need to live a happy and prosperous life through learning. Our major focus this year was to make sure that the kids who come to the Dream Center had a safe and fun environment to learn and play while their parents work or take classes. Find out more about the Springfield Dream Center and how you can volunteer at www.springfielddreamcenter.com.
RED DAY 2017
May 11, 2017
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 celebrate Mo Anderson's birthday by spending 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.
On May 11th, 2017, 130 Keller Williams Associates and Vendors got together to renovate the Springfield Dream Center! Located in Zone 1, the Springfield Dream Center offers resources that provide "help for today and hope for tomorrow" (AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMING, ADULT EDUCATION, A FOOD PANTRY, ADDICTION RECOVERY AND MUCH MORE)! We renovated the children rooms, offices, hallways, stairwells and dining room so that families have a great place to DREAM BIG! We can't wait to share the recap video with you very soon!

Incredible Kids, Doing Incredible Things
SPARK Leaders at Republic Schools
September, 2016
Republic Middle Schoolers have started a "kindness" movement at their schools called SPARK (Students Performing Acts of Respect and Kindness). Republic School District provides food through the "Backpack Program" for families in crisis. The Backpack Program is when the students in need go to fill their backpacks with food to last them for a weekend. The students of SPARK make encouragement bags for all of those is need, so that they feel encouraged and not embarrassed. This idea is spreading to the grade schools and other school districts! Want to know how you can help or how you can start something like this in your school? Just email Kaci at sparkleaders@outlook.com for more info. The smallest "SPARK" of kindness, makes all the difference!
UPDATE-Mark's Story
September, 2016
Since we posted Mark's amazing story, many people have donated items and sent words of encouragement. You have also asked how Mark is doing. Well, we are excited to tell you that he is doing really well!
Mark's Story
August, 2016
Mark wanted everyone to know some of the big needs for places that help the homeless. Basic things that we need like food, water, shelter and clothing are fairly obvious. Other things that help are bicycles, bus passes to get to and from work and even money for government identification so that they can apply for jobs.
Thank you to all of the organizations that help people in need!
Here are a few numbers and a website that you can check out if you have questions and want to help:
If you want to donate an actual item to the Harbor House call: 417-831-3371 (The Harbor House)

Red Nose Day 2016
May, 2016
A Letter From The RED NOSE DAY TEAM:
Without you and your efforts, Red Nose Day would not be able to make such a big impact. You and the nation came together to raise over $31.5 million and donations are still coming in! We are incredibly grateful.
Half of the money you have raised for Red Nose Day will benefit children who are most in need in America and the other half in the poorest communities around the world. All our efforts are focused on keeping kids safe, healthy and educated.
Until June 30th, you can easily deposit any remaining FUN-raising funds into your CrowdRise account.
Once again, on behalf of Red Nose Day and the kids whose lives will be transformed by your efforts, we sincerely thank you.
Best regards,
The Red Nose Day Team
