About Keys 4/4 Kids

Mission

Inspire young people to believe in themselves thorugh the arts.

 

Company Overview

Keys 4/4 Kids is a non profit that accepts donated pianos, restores and then sells them to the public. 100% of profits benefit local youth.

When you donate a piano to Keys 4/4 Kids, your piano goes to a good home where it will directly enrich the lives of people for years to come. Your piano will be moved by professional movers who will treat your piano and your home with utmost care.  In the spring of 2000, Newell Hill began fixing and selling donated pianos out of his parents’ garage. He did this to raise money for an after school arts program in North Minneapolis. The concept was simple – fix and sell donated pianos for charities.

This idea created an organization. Keys 4/4 Kids now operates in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chicago, and Kansas City. The idea remains how it started and 100% of profits benefit local music and arts programs. Through supporting these programs, Keys 4/4 Kids inspires young people to believe in themselves through the arts.
