Welcome to the KEYS Program!
For more than 25 years, the KEYS Program has been delivering music, hope and smiles to children impacted by cancer and serious illnesses through its award-winning music outreach, family respite day and sibling support programs.
In 2019, we are expanding our outreach to serve both children and adults who are battling cancer, individuals with autism and disabilities, and adults with Alzheimer's & dementia. Explore our website to learn more about our programs and how you can get involved in creating BIG smiles!

Smile Experience at the Syracuse Quarter Midget Track August 18th!
(Note: This is a closed invitation-only event for just our KEYS families)
The KEYS Program is hosting its annual Smile Experience family respite day for our KEYS families on Sunday, August 18th from Noon until 4pm at the Syracuse Quarter Midget track located at the NYS Fairgrounds.
Our KEYS kids and their siblings will be suiting up in drivers suits and buckling into our USAC .25 Midgets to take lap after lap of smiles on the track. In addition to the awesomeness of driving a real race car, each child wheels into victory lane to the cheers of their fans and gets a super cool trophy and checkered flag.
After they are done driving, they join their family in our hospitality tent where they enjoy some refreshments, face painting, photo booth and lots of fun music too!
BIG smiles are abound from green flag start to checkered flag finish!
This is a closed event for just our KEYS families, however, we are always looking for awesome volunteers to help us create BIG smiles! If you would like more information on how to join our volunteer Smile Crew, contact KEYS Executive Director, Colleen Bennett, at colleen@thekeysprogram.org or give us a call at 315-363-6446.
