Keller Williams Realty has done the unthinkable: they appear to have discovered a method of converting a ballroom full of fashion faux-pas into funds to help the poor of El Salvador! According to the event website, nearly 500 “fashion victims” attended the event, raising over 11k in donations and collecting 573 pounds of food for the food bank.

Events like these are good for two reasons. The obvious reason is that money is raised to help those who are less fortunate. Thousands of children, even decades from now, will benefit from TLAU’s mission to improve the quality of their education. But many people forget the quieter, residual effects of events like the Keller Williams Charity Ball: increased awareness in our society that there are many in this world who struggle to feed, shelter, and educate themselves and their families. Without such community efforts, it is very easy for Americans to forget their duty to help others, their call to charity.

Thanks to Keller Williams and especially TLAU donors Ginger and Roger Sala who advocated for our placement on the list of beneficiaries.
