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 another way that KeyBank invests in Buffalo by
dedicating our collective time and talent to help communities thrive,” said Michael
McMahon, KeyBank Buffalo Market President. “On this day and every day, we take
pride in showing up in Buffalo and all of the communities we serve to brighten lives and
help transform neighborhoods in a meaningful way.”
