San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 25, 2017 -- Over the week of Sept. 11, 25 associates from the San Francisco branch of Keller Williams Realty International traveled to Texas to participate in Mega Relief, a week long, company-wide, disaster relief campaign coordinated by Keller Williams leadership in conjunction with the real estate company’s nonprofit arm, KW Cares.

It made me realize that all we have in this world is intangible: our relationships with each other, our own values and beliefs, and our memories from experiences past. Every material thing we own can be taken away in a blink of an eye.

The week in Austin, TX was originally planned for the annual Keller Williams real estate conference, Mega Camp, with many conference events scheduled to take place at the Austin Convention Center. However, after Tropical Storm Harvey swept through East Texas and Louisiana, leaving unprecedented damage in its wake, officials at Keller Williams quickly decided to change plans.

Keller Williams leadership coordinated to instead open the Austin Convention Center to several charitable organizations as a staging ground for relief efforts. Additionally, company officials organized the transport of supplies and volunteers to areas affected by the disaster.

Over the week, more than 4,000 Keller Williams associates and their family members travelled to Austin for Mega Relief, where they were bussed to affected areas to assist at shelters, organize supplies, demuck homes, and clean up streets.

Michael Minson, Senior Listing Specialist of Level Up Group SF, sent his entire team to Mega Relief. “The work we did in Texas was both rewarding and eye opening,” said Minson. “It made me realize that all we have in this world is intangible: our relationships with each other, our own values and beliefs, and our memories from experiences past. Every material thing we own can be taken away in a blink of an eye. I have a renewed commitment to cherish the now, celebrate my relationships, and continue to give, love, and serve.”

“I’ve been with Keller Williams for 8 years and I’ve seen our company culture in action, but never to this extent,” said Keller Williams San Francisco Team Leader and CEO, Wendy Davis. “I think we all have mixed emotions about our experience in Texas. Everyone who participated in Mega Relief was there on their own dollar, so I’m extremely proud to be in business with agents like that--this is what KW culture is all about. While it was rewarding, we also left with emotions of concern. The trip raised our awareness about disaster preparedness. Are we prepared personally and as a community for a disaster of this magnitude?”

Jennifer Rosdail, a top associate at Keller Williams San Francisco, was able offer additional post-disaster insurance preparedness to affected communities by providing a Harvey-focused Roadmap to Recovery from San Francisco nonprofit, United Policyholders.

In addition to the efforts put forth for Mega Relief, Keller Williams Realty International has started a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $20 million for disaster recovery. The company is also organizing further efforts to aid in relief after Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
