Oftentimes, we don’t think about the tasks laid out before us. Keith Ablow has made it his mission in life to live in the service of others. One of his more recent endeavors was supporting Project GreenER’s plan to help rehabilitate and beautify the Upper Green Newbury, Massachusetts. Keith Ablow is proud of his community, and organization like Project GreenER gives him hope for a better tomorrow. Especially when you consider: it’s run by kids!
Information gathered from the NewburyPortNews
“Project GreenER is a 501(c)3, not-for-profit charity founded by local teenagers and children, including
Cole Ablow and Ryan Haas, with help from a local board of directors, our college advisor Clodagh Bartholomew
, our executive director Tiffany Bartholomew and Verne Fisher of Visionary Landscapes. We have also
recruited a teenage member from Pennsylvania, Lindsay Elston. Our mission is to restore historic
greens around America.

Improvements to the Newbury Upper Green will be made entirely through Project GreenER’s fundraising
efforts. We have already raised over $50,000 and look forward to major grants from area businesses
and other organizations, upon final approval of the project. Contributions to GreenER can be made
through our website, www.projectgreener.com.”

Let Us Not Forget About Keith Ablow’s Work With...
Many of us wish we could do more to help aid the causes we feel so passionate about. Many more people
merely post on social media or talk about doing something on other platforms, only to let those good
intentions fall to the wayside. That has never been the way Keith Ablow operates however. Especially
when it comes to helping support causes that help and empower women. That’s where the Jeanne
Crisis Center comes into play. Keith Ablow had conceived of the charity, based on his belief that men
are, deep in their psyches, very motivated to stand up for the women in their lives and what matters to
them.

The goal of this charity was to harness the chivalry of men and motivate them to support women’s
causes. Because of Keith Ablow’s help, the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center raised over 1.2 million dollars
after the creation of CauseMo, a charitable donation platform that the Boston Herald said would
“simplify charitable giving!” So many women have been positively impacted by the work done at the
Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. Keith Ablow’s hard work and dedication has definitely paid off. More
importantly? These amazing women are making amazing strides towards bettering their lives and the
lives of those around them as well.

But what can I do to make a difference in my community or help the world?
We can’t all write a large check and build facility, or fully fund a cause. Sometimes, people feel hopeless
or helpless when they realize they can’t make a difference “on their own.” But therein lies the problem,
“you don’t need to do it alone!” There are some resources available to anyone that wants to help
however. Keith Ablow would like to you give two of his favorites a try:

“you don’t need to do it alone!” There are some resources available to anyone that wants to help
however. Keith Ablow would like to you give two of his favorites a try:
- highly qualified volunteers for your nonprofit. We match you with people who are passionate about and committed to your cause, and who can help when and where you need them. Volunteers are often donors as well, we make it easy for them to contribute their time and money.” You should definitely check them out!
- CreateTheGood. From their website: “Got 5 minutes? 5 hours? Find good that fits you and your community Connect with ways to share your life experience and skills that match your schedule and interests. Discover simple, fun ideas for creating good. Help feed a family in need, collect school supplies, start a community garden and much more. Make good even better. Post your service project to reach a vast network of experienced and committed volunteers.” This is such a great resource!
Remember…
Keith Ablow isn’t a superhero. He’s a person, just like you or I. He wakes up everyday, puts his shoes on one at a time, and he goes into the world knowing what he can and can’t change overnight. What’s the biggest difference between Keith Ablow and most people? He doesn’t just talk about making a difference in the world. He actively supports
causes, helps organize charity events, and does his best to inspire others to follow his example as best
that they can.
Do your part, make a difference, and make an effort. You’ll be happy you did, and so will the people
you help in the process.
