Our Mission of Smiles!

KEYS Logo No Background (2).png

The KEYS Program is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that delivers music, hope and smiles to children impacted by cancer and life-threatening illnesses through music outreach, education and advocacy! 

Mary's Smile 

The KEYS family matriarch, Mary Blair, journeyed to heaven on June 5, 2026 at the age of 84 to be with her beloved husband Charles in heaven. Mary is the mother of KEYS founder Colleen Bennett and "mom" to everyone at the KEYS Program. KEYS was created in memory of Charles back in 1993 and Mary had been involved in sharing KEYS mission of smiles since! 

  The KEYS Program's "Mary's Smile" project was created in honor and memory of Mary.   If you would like to donate to Mary's Smile in memory of Mary Blair, just click on the donate link below. 

The entire Blair/Bennett family send their deepest appreciation for all of the love and support given to their family during this time as we celebrate Mary's beautiful life!

Our Programs!

Since 1993, KEYS has been improving the quality of life of children facing incredible health challenges, through our award-winning music therapy, family concert nights and family respite day experiences, creating memorable moments... and smiles.... for the whole family! 

Create Smiles!

Our programs for kids battling cancer & serious illnesses are provided at no cost to the families we serve.

It takes many amazing donors, sponsors, foundations and volunteers to keep our programs rockin' each year. 

We would love for you to get involved in creating smiles with us!
