KEEN is a national, nonprofit volunteer-led organization that provides one-to-one recreational opportunities for children and young adults with developmental and physical disabilities at no cost to their families and caregivers. KEEN's mission is to foster the self-esteem, confidence, skills and talents of its athletes through non-competitive activities, allowing young people facing even the most significant challenges to meet their individual goals.

Proving once again that the Best Days are KEEN Days, the 2010 KEEN Sports Festival, held Sunday, June 6, was a day of friendship, fun, and fitness for KEEN's athletes, their families, and volunteers. More than 500 people involved in KEEN's Washington, DC; Maryland; and Northern Virginia programs gathered at Hadley's Park in Potomac, Md., for a day that included climbing through an obstacle course, volleyball, badminton, softball, individualized play among athlete and volunteer coach pairs, face painting, bubbles, kite flying, zumba, tae kwon do, and tug of war. Special guest, Olympic Gold Medalist Dominique Dawes signed autographs and enjoyed the day with KEEN. Highlights and images from the Festival were captured in the DC Examiner. Check it out here.
