As their track record indicates, KeyBank employees know how to make a difference.

That was evident when employees from the bank's Lehighton branch participated in KeyBank's 27th annual Neighbors Make the Difference Day.Recently, KeyBank employees assisted at Baer Memorial Swimming Pool in Lehighton by preparing the community pool for its opening weekend.Branch employees helped spread new mulch for the playground, painted, built picnic tables, installed privacy fencing and new signage around the property, and performed various other tasks.In eastern Pennsylvania, about 200 employees volunteered at 26 community organizations, and joined nearly 7,000 KeyBank employees across 15 states from Maine to Alaska to provide 28,000 volunteer hours to 900 service projects in the communities the bank serves.Neighbors Make the Difference Day was started more than 25 years ago by a group of employees in Alaska.Two years later, the idea swept across a number of communities that KeyBank serves and became an official day of employee volunteerism, now the hallmark of the bank's commitment to its neighborhoods.
