KEEN New York wants to thank you! We have been able to accept more children and change more lives with your support. The special needs children we serve are challenged with such issues as obesity, depression and rising healthcare costs. The benefits of our programs allow these children much-needed exercise while strengthening their overall mental and physical well-being. Since your generous donations, our sessions are always at capacity with smiling faces due to the new art supplies, toys and pool time.

With the summer months approaching, the demand for our program is quickly growing due to the lack of programs for special needs children in New York City. With your help once again, we hope to provide more opportunities for new children, but this time we are not asking for money. A KEEN New York photo was chosen as one of the Top 10 photos in North America by Global Giving! All you have to do is:

1) Go to the GlobalGiving's Facebook page (link found below) and "Like It" 2) In the photo section find the album titled Photo Contest: North America 3) Find our picture of the little boy coloring on the bottom row and "like" it

If KEEN New York gets the most "likes" overall, we will win $1,000 to help more Kids Enjoy Exercise Now! Your vote will be an important part of KEEN New York’s programs by providing us with the chance to support more children and families who need us. Once again, thank you!
