To the Editor:
Tony Stewart Foundation + KEYS Kids = Launch of Tony’s Kids Can!
The KEYS Program is thrilled to announce is has partnered with The Tony Stewart Foundation on a cool national campaign called Tony’s Kids Can, to create really BIG smiles for our KEYS kids battling cancer here in Central New York and across the US!
We would LOVE for all of YOU to be a part of it!
Tony Stewart, three-time NASCAR Cup Champion, race team owner, philanthropist and long-time supporter of the KEYS Program, is a self-proclaimed “big softie” for kids. His foundation provides monetary grants to outstanding charitable organizations, like the KEYS Program, providing programs and services to children who are critically ill and/or physically disabled. Tony believes that every child can thrive and can “be a kid”.
Tony’s Kids Can, an online peer-to-peer giving program, is designed to encourage creative, thoughtful and fun fundraising. Envision hosting a backyard cookout or a tasting for wine or craft beer. Envision a movie night or backyard tent sleepover for the kids. Invite your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to join you in this special endeavor. Have fun doing it!
