The H.A.W.D.C. (Hotel Association of Washington, D.C.) e-HEADLNES covered focused attention on the mission of KEYS by acknowledging their support with an influential message to encourage Members to contribute to KEYS charitable work in the Nation’s Capitol.   Through the generosity of the members of this Association over the years, KEYS has received donations of in-kind goods from over 35 hotels and has redistributed over $500,000 in basic goods to meet real life needs.  The Hotel Association invited KEYS to join their organization as an Allied Member, affording KEYS a most valuable network to share and strengthen the goals of our mission.  We are proud to have Emily Durso, President of the H.A.W.D.C., join our Board of Directors and to be working with the outstanding leaders and staff in the hospitality industry and  H.A.W.D.C. to give further prominence to philanthropic programs which touch and change the lives of so many others.
