Keys Cafe’s Charity Fund Golf Classic broke their own record and raised $72,412.23 for Christopher to receive life changing support.

Jean Hunn, event coordinator,  said she wanted to “express our gratitude to everyone who came together on June 12th” in support of 9-year-old Christopher.

Melissa Schlemmer, Christopher’s mom, said “Our family can’t thank everyone enough” for helping Christopher. The family will now have the ability to help him so much more. “We are beyond thankful for everyone involved in making the event a success,” she said.

Next year will mark the event’s 20th anniversary and Hunn said “we are looking to make it the most exciting yet!”

Next year’s Charity Golf Tournament will be June 10, 2024 at Southview Country Club.

Army Vet, Foodie highlights Keys Restaurant on Kare 11

Kreskin Torres is an Army Veteran, rideshare driver  and a notable “foodie” who travels across the country looking for ways to meet interesting people and try wonderful food and share his stories on Instragram.

Torres told Kare 11 that during his travels across the country as a rideshare driver he was looking for ways to connect with people from “all walks of life.” Torres said a good way to interact and learn about them is to talk about food and restaurants. “Strangers I don’t even know (say) ‘you need a place to stay? Come on over for a barbecue.’” Torres told Kare.

Recently he traveled to Minnesota looking for chili and cinnamon rolls. This led him to Keys Cafe in Roseville. He told Kare 11 “it’s all about showcasing every state’s hidden gems – and people – right in their own backyards.”
