The Chili Cook-Off is the office's main fundraising event where agents bring in crock-pots of chili and sell them by the bowl. This year, the office will raise money for the Boys and Girls Club of Smyrna, who is trying to build a new building, and for the Master's Touch Academy, a school for special needs children. A silent auction of gift items, monetary donations and desserts for sale are also included to help raise money for the occasion.

West Memphis Sales associate Mark Beatty had no idea that showing up at a sales meeting one Tuesday morning last fall would change his life. That day has not only changed his – but it’s had a profound impact on two of his colleagues and three people who have struggled all their lives with reading and writing. "Last fall a coordinator for the Literacy Council of Crittenden County spoke at our sales meeting, talking passionately about a volunteer based program to help people read and write," said Beatty. "I decided that day to become a volunteer tutor which is a year long commitment to tutor one student one-on-one for two hours each week along with; creating a lesson plan, setting goals, submitting status reports and most importantly being passionate about helping your student succeed.” Joining Beatty as a literacy council volunteer is sales associates Debbie Bailey and Dianne Person, also from the Crye-leike West Memphis branch office. To his knowledge, they're the only real estate associates in the county who are participating as tutors.
