Here we GROW again!

As spring brings in flowers and warmth, KEEN New York is growing in so many ways!  On June 26th, KEEN New York will join the Achilles Hope and Possibility race to bring athletes with disabilities and able-bodied athletes together in a celebration of running. Raffles, free t-shirts for kids, give promise of a great day in the park! Best of all- every KEEN athlete will get to participate for free!  For adults to run the race, there is a fee and you will need to register through the New York Road Runners. 

There are many ways to support KEEN New York in the Achilles Hope and Possibility Race! 

- Sign your child up to participate in the race!  All children are able to compete (please e-mail Nichole at NCerimele@KEENnewyork.org to get an application)

- Create a fundraising page and spread the word about our cause while raising money (link is below) 

- Volunteer to help a KEEN athlete cross the finish line (please e-mail Nichole at NCerimele@KEENnewyork.org if you are interested)

- If you are an adult, sign up to run the race and join us in the 5 mile adventure!

- Or simply donate to help us continue to help children with special needs have fun!

In addition, KEEN New York is getting ready to expand our swim program.  Our first new swim session will begin in June and will help an additional 35 families!  We were able to create this new program with your help by being able to buy more swim caps, pay for more pool time and get some cool new toys.  Thank you for your continue support of KEEN New York!
