Guests gathered at Spring Villa Lodge in Opelika on Sept. 24 for Keys for Kids, a dueling-piano fundraiser benefiting the Boys and Girls Clubs of East Alabama. The evening featured two pianists, a drummer, audience song requests, comedy and live entertainment, with donations tied to requested songs. The event was designed not only to raise money, but also to introduce more people to the work of the Boys and Girls Clubs, which provide after-school programming, tutoring, mentoring, college preparation, financial literacy and workforce readiness opportunities for young people in Opelika, Auburn and Troy.
