Key Equipment Finance Employees Roll Up Sleeves For Day of Community Service

Nearly 300 employees of Superior-based Key Equipment Finance, the nation’s second-largest bank-held equipment finance company and an affiliate of KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY), gave their time and energy recently to benefit organizations across their communities during the 19th annual Neighbors Make the Difference Day.
For the May 5 day of community service, Key Equipment Finance employees in Colorado, Illinois and New York assisted nonprofit and community organizations in their local areas with yard work, “child-proofing,” gardening, painting, landscaping, cleaning bird cages, repairing sheds, placing “Do Not Dump” placards on drains, girding trees, hosting a Cinco de Mayo party for nursing home residents, assembling food packages and distributing food.“This event is the hallmark of Key’s year-round volunteerism and philanthropic investment in its communities,” said Adam D. Warner, president of Key Equipment Finance. “As our employees rolled up their sleeves on a beautiful spring day to paint, landscape and do other tasks, they knew they were enhancing the quality of life where they live and work and assisting their fellow citizens toward goals of economic self-sufficiency.”Colorado organizations benefiting from this year’s Neighbors Make the Difference Day included the Alta Vista Center for Autism, Butterfly Pavilion, Birds of Prey Foundation, FISH Community Food Bank, Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, City of Westminster, Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center, Sister Carmen Community Center and Town 9 Park.For more information on Key Equipment Finance, visit www.KEFonline.com
