KEEN is a national, nonprofit volunteer-led organization that provides one-to-one recreational opportunities for children and young adults with mental 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.

There will be no more sessions at Tilden Middle School until September.
The Family Sports days will be at St. Coletta on June 27 and July 18.

Proving that “the Best Days are KEEN Days,” more than 600 KEEN athletes, families and volunteers celebrated a great day of fun and exercise at the 8th Annual KEEN Sports Festival. In addition to playing fun sports and recreational activities, everyone got to enjoy the presence of a few celebrity guests. Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast Dominique Dawes signed autographs; Washington Capitals’ mascot, Slapshot, played games, shook hands and mingled with athletes; Fox 5 TV Anchor Will Thomas spotlighted KEEN on the evening news, and Montgomery County Council President Phil Andrews announced that $25,000 was being earmarked for KEEN Greater DC.

KEEN Athletes Tour White House

KEEN Club enjoyed a very special treat Saturday morning. Following weeks of anticipation, the group took a trip to the White House! Perhaps more breathtaking than the historic building itself were our athletes? attentive questions, which sometimes stumped the Secret Service. The athletes expressed a deep interest and curiosity in the White House, allowing the experience to be far more interactive than normal. To everyone?s dismay, the tour was over before we knew it! Special thanks to Penny and the Secret Service of the White House for their support and enthusiasm.
