Key Bank brought people from its downtown offices, including Randy Robinson out to White Center to help clean things up for 'Neighbors Make a Difference Day'. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the event.
Key Bank brought a crew of corporate employees out to White Center on Tuesday, May 25 to clean windows, pick up litter and do general clean up in association with the White Center Community Development Association (WCCDA). This year marks the 20th anniversary of this project. Senior management, managers and staff come together in groups to go work as community servants.
"This is a national program we do called 'Neighbors Make A Difference Day', said Rick Wirthlin, President of the Seattle Cascades District of Key Bank, "and we have about 8000 people nationwide from the bank, helping out lots of organizations around the country. Today we have in our district we have 200 people in our district helping out 14 different organizations."
They chose White Center because, "It's all part of White Center," Wirthlin said, " As our business model we're all part of the community bank and we're all trying to give back to our community and this is one of those communities in which we have people who live, work, and play right here."
Aileen Balahadia, Executive Director of WCCDA said, "It's really cool, the fact that the President came out here. I love it."
