On September 20th, The Rotary Clubs of Cuyahoga Falls and Stow-Munroe Falls attended the main fundraising event for the 501(c)(3) group called Keys 2 Serenity. This group was founded by Brenda Ryan in 2018 after the loss of her daughter to an overdose, leaving behind her young son.  This non-profit was started to support children who have been impacted by parental addictions Keys 2 Serenity provides approximately 15 events a year for these children. They also provide community giveaways in areas that are impacted by addiction.  They provided goods and services to over 5,000 residents last year alone.  They also support Kinship providers.  Many are grandparents raising their grandchildren due to addiction.

Keys 2 Serenity is one of the first groups that District 6630 are supporting as part of our partnership with them on addiction issues.  Keys 2 Serenity operates on primarily private donations as they get no direct funding and all the staff and the Board of Directors are volunteers.  For more information go to keys2serenity.org
