Keith Hayes had just transferred to a 4-year college and was only 20 years old when he suddenly passed away after enduring an undiagnosed muscular and skeletal myopathy disease with severe heart involvement. Keith had a quiet strength throughout his short life span and made a significant difference to those that knew him. Keith’s heart was enlarged, both physically and with giving support to others. We therefore, as a family felt it important to celebrate Keith’s spirit of giving, as the basis of the Keith B. Hayes Foundation. It is the Foundation’s goal to provide physically challenged young adults with sponsorships, scholarships, on-line support service of ‘spreading wings’, and grants towards medical research for undiagnosed conditions.
The immediate Hayes family that includes Sheila, Keith’s mom; Sadler, Keith’s dad, Adam and Brian his elder brothers are equal partners in this venture. The Keith B. Hayes Foundation is part of the Community Foundation of Orange County.
It is with the public’s shared interest, support and generosity that the Hayes family can, with sincere appreciation, continue Keith’s’ legacy through the Keith B. Hayes Foundation.
We thank you and all who will benefit from the Keith B. Hayes Foundation thank you as well.
We would like to ask for your support for the Keith B. Hayes Foundation.
