Neighbors Make the Difference Day launched in 1991, with a group of KeyBank
employees in Alaska who volunteered for service projects. By 1993, KeyBank extended
the concept to many of the communities it served, making it an official day of employee
volunteerism. Now, Neighbors Make the Difference Day is a hallmark program and
leading corporate volunteerism effort in America, showcasing KeyBank’s commitment to
communities.
“Neighbors Make the Difference Day is an event our KeyBank teammates look forward
to each year as we all take great pride in working in, living in and serving Buffalo and
Western New York, home to our Northeast Regional Headquarters,” said Michael
McMahon, KeyBank Buffalo Market President. “This tradition is another way that
KeyBank invests in Buffalo by dedicating our collective time and talent to brighten lives
and help transform our community in a meaningful way.”
