KEYS, Inc. is a wonderful organization that helps provide scholarships to students in Kewaskum, Wisconsin. On this week's episode, Jennifer Gerhartz & Kristy Bishop of KEYS join me to talk about the upcoming KEYS Run.

He very much poured himself into whatever he was a part of. And for that, among many, many other things. He is missed. And with that, here's 15 Minutes on the KEYS Run with Jennifer Gerharts and Kristy Bishop.
Jennifer and Kristy, thank you for coming on and let's talk a little bit about what KEYS is before we get into the run and what that's all about.

And I think for me, when I look at that, it's an opportunity for me to serve my community, working alongside individuals and businesses to provide opportunities for our youth.

Also, we like to know, are you active in clubs, are you active in sports, because those take a lot of time and commitment, and that gives those students a lot of credit for all the dedication that they've put into it. So we analyze those applications, and then we eventually go through an interview process.
Once we have all the data, we kind of rank. The students, and then we are able to award the scholarships based on that.

So it's a very big portion.

So we're, uh, we're going through all that. And I. I'm grateful for things like KEYS and similar organizations that are helping students to further their career. I just paid off my student loans this year, so I'm going to try to set my daughters up so they don't have to be 43 when they pay off their student loans.
We have the KEYS Run coming up, and how long has the KEYS Run been going on?

We sent in pictures, we put it on Facebook, but it was not an in person event last year.

What is the course for the KEYS Run? Where do we run?
[:
[:
[:
[:
[:
[:
Is it a timed event then for the diehards?
[:
[:
And then how many participants in a normal year, how many people participate in the run?
[:
[:
Somebody wants to sign up. How much is it and what is the deadline to get signed up?
[:
So it'll be 30 and that runs all the way through race morning.
[:
[:
And so we're doing that for him and it includes a silhouette of him high fiving a young runner. So it seems to encapsulate him and the work he did.
[:
If somebody wants to register for the event, where do they go to do that?
[:
[:
[:
We have a lot of volunteers. If somebody's interested in volunteering, we would certainly find a place to plug you in.

in Kewaskum. Those are great community ways you can also support Kewaskum Youth Scholarships.

So again, that's from the Booster Club in Kewaskum.

I'm knocking on the desk right now. Nope, it's not going to rain. It's not going to rain.

We have an age category for kids 1 to 7, for 8 year olds, for 9 year olds, for 10 year olds, for 11 year olds, for 12 year olds, for 13 year olds, 14 and 15, 16 and 17. And so in that, there's a lot of kids who come in and run and get a medal. Get excited about doing it again. So that's something that I think is different about the KEYS Run that's very youth focused and fun.
[:

[:
[:

And we're excited, we're motivated, we're ready.
[:
Thank you,
