The KEYS Program has a dream that all kids with cancer can enjoy the benefits of music as part of their treatment, recovery, or journey. KEYS vision is to make this dream a reality by giving away special music therapy gift packets to kids who are in hospitals, camps, and in hospice care. Sharing the gift of music is our goal and kids with cancer are our first priority. However, KEYS also reaches out to many kids with various serious illnesses, disabilities and injuries - so every child, no matter their disability or illness, is able to reap the powerful benefits of music! Please browse through our site to read stories from kids about their amazing experience with KEYS; learn about our special training programs for parents, teachers, and medical professionals; and see how you can help us unlock the music in every child's heart and make our dream a reality! |

Congratulations to Tony Stewart on winning the 4th annual Prelude to the Dream at Eldora Speedway September 9, 2009. The Tony Stewart Foundation has been a great supporter of the KEYS Program, helping us to share Dawn’s Song with hundreds of campers with serious illnesses at the Victory Junction Gang Camp. Each year, the Tony Stewart Foundation hosts the Prelude to the Dream at Eldora Speedway. This year’s event benefited a cause near and dear to us at KEYS, our injured and fallen soldiers. Some of our board members are military families themselves, with spouses and family members who have proudly served our country in Afghanistan and Iraq. Congratulations to Tony, all of the drivers who participated and the whole crew at the Tony Stewart Foundation on another great event! |
