About The Key Quest Festival

Sarasota Key Quest Festival is a community event hosted by One Check Away, Inc. at the Bayfront Community Center & Civic Green Lawns bringing together residents, local organizations, sponsors, artisans, and community partners for a day of discovery, connection, and opportunity.

Built around the theme of unlocking the keys to wellness, preparedness, and opportunity, the festival creates a vibrant gathering where attendees engage with local resources, explore interactive activities, and connect with organizations shaping the future of the Sarasota community.

Prepare

Creating pathways to education, employment, and economic opportunity.

Strengthening community resilience and disaster preparedness.

Advancing health, prevention, and community wellbeing.

The Three Keys to

Community Resilience

Let's come together to shape a safer and smarter future.

Prepare Smartly

Be ready for any storm.

Protect Wisely

Your safety is our top concern.

Prevent Issues

Together, we can avoid disasters.

About One Check Away, Inc.

Opportunity often hinges on access—access to information, skills, mentorship, and pathways that open doors to a better future.

Our vision is simple: Education should expand opportunity, not limit it. Through mentorship, scholarships, workforce readiness, and community learning initiatives, Check Ahead equips individuals and families with the tools they need to move forward with confidence and build a more secure future.

HEALTH ACCESS

Illness doesn’t discriminate. A sudden diagnosis, rising costs, or lack of access to care can turn a manageable health issue into a crisis overnight.

Our vision is simple: Prevention should be accessible to everyone. Through mobile outreach, community education, and partnerships with local providers, Check Coast brings health screenings, prevention services, and resources directly into the community—helping people stay well before small concerns become medical emergencies.

HOUSING STABILITY 

Homelessness wears work uniforms. It clocks double shifts. It carries Medicare cards.

Our vision is simple: No one should have to choose between rent and groceries, medication and electricity. Through mobile outreach, housing navigation, and essential services, we’re transforming systems that keep people one check away from crisis.
