 Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation’s 1st Down for Fitness Program Hosts KEEN Athletes Watch KEEN athletes with the Redskins. KEEN athletes joined Washington Redskins players, and strength and conditioning coaches at the 1st Down for Fitness Program held at Redskin Park, Ashburn, Virginia, on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 for a variety of fitness activities including push ups, an obstacle course, speed ladders and sleds. Each KEEN athlete was matched with a student volunteer coach from Georgetown Preparatory Academy. The fitness session ended with each KEEN athlete sharing with the group of Redskin players and volunteer coaches what they did that day “that made them very Proud.” Everyone at KEEN was thrilled to have the opportunity to learn about fitness from the Washington Redskins—thank you!

Sports Festival 2008 ~ Sixteen Sweet Years of KEEN! The 7th Annual KEEN Sports Festival, held June 1 at Hadley’s Park, was a great success! More than 500 KEEN athletes, their family members and friends, and volunteers attended the event. Washington Capitals goaltender Olie Kolzig participated in the traditional “Prouds” session where KEEN athletes shared an accomplishment from the day with the group and were presented with a medal from the Caps goaltender. Many thanks to Olie Kolzig and to all our volunteers, sponsors, and contributors for making the 2008 Sports Festival a great success! You are the heart and soul of KEEN Greater DC!  “KEEN is a great organization. Having a son with autism, I realize how important it is to have a program like this where he and others like him can play sports.” - Olie Kolzig, More Sports Festival Information.  KEEN Athletes Tour White HouseKEEN 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.  15th Annual KEEN Golf & Tennis Classic Through rain and shine, the 15th KEEN Golf & Tennis Classic was an amazing success in raising funds for KEEN’s programs and awareness of the needs of young people with disabilities in the greater DC area.
