KeyBank teammates come together to serve Bangor region communities during 35th Annual Neighbors Make the Difference Day
June 23, 2026
On Tuesday, June 2, KeyBank proudly celebrated its 35th annual Neighbors Make the Difference Day®, a signature day of service that brings teammates together to support the communities they call home. From 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., nearly 200 KeyBank teammates across Maine rolled up their sleeves and volunteered alongside local nonprofit partners at 19 projects throughout the state.
In Bangor, Key employees spread gravel and dirt in the dog pens at Bangor Dog Park on Watchmaker Street. A team of Key employees also volunteered at The Courageous Steps Project in Old Town, cleaning and organizing a climate-controlled storage unit.
“Neighbors Make the Difference Day is one of the most meaningful days of the year for our teammates,” said Tony DiSotto, Maine/Vermont Market President. “It’s an opportunity to give back to the communities we care so deeply about and to show up as neighbors—not just bankers. Communities thrive when volunteers unite and we’re proud to invest our time, talent, and heart into Maine and help brighten lives in ways that truly matter.”
Neighbors Make the Difference Day began in 1991, when a small group of KeyBank teammates in Alaska came together to volunteer in their community. Just two years later, the program expanded across the company, becoming an official day of service. Today, it stands as one of the nation’s leading corporate volunteer initiatives and a powerful example of how collective action can strengthen communities.
