Keys to Kindness History

Keys to Kindness started when Sharri Cagle’s son was in 5th Grade.  He came home on a Thursday from school wanting to do something to help a student in 3rd Grade that needed a heart transplant. Friday night the Cagle Family was building a lemonade stand to host in their neighborhood on Saturday. Colin Cagle rallied his classmates, friends, neighbors, and anyone that would listen to come and help with the lemonade stand.  He set a goal of $200.00.  A little boy, his friends, family, the community, and a whole lot of KINDNESS raised $2000.00. This led to a Month Long Be Kind Initiative to raise the additional funds needed for their fellow student to receive his heart transplant.

What inspired Keys To Kindness was a child’s heart, a lemonade stand that could, and a community connecting to share kindness, seeing the impact, and knowing the need and opportunities to share a lot more kindness. Keys to Kindness has now hosted dozens of gatherings and events to help other families and provide awareness for other causes in our community. We have been able to connect hundreds of people and provide opportunities to make an impact and truly connect and build lasting relationships!
