Dear friends,
I hope this finds you well. I’ve been thinking about all of you and how you continue to amaze me with your dedication and passion for KEEN. Did you know that a gift as small as $10, purchases a piece of equipment that brings hours of joy to our athletes? Did you also know that a donation of $40, provides a program session to a child who is offered the time and space to increase their mobility thru activities and play. And, if you’re feeling generous, a gift of $5,000 provides 50 athletes 12 months of sessions of a program of their choosing?
There’s a quote that says “One cannot begin to change the landscape with a single flower” – but I beg to differ, all it takes is one idea, one spark to ignite a fire and one flower to inspire and bring joy. One instance that gets paid forward becomes a revolution.
KEEN San Francisco is about to celebrate our 5th birthday in October and we’d like to know how we have inspired you? Send us a note or an email and share with us how we inspired you to support KEEN and how you hope your gift of support inspires others. Email me at awilliamson@keensanfrancisco.org and share your story.
Here is a note I recently received from one of our coaches, Erika, she spent one hour in the pool with a KEEN athlete and she says it forever changed her life.
“KEEN has definitely become way more to me than I would have ever expected. That first day in the pool was just amazing. I share your passion for KEEN to succeed. I just can't imagine it not! And to ultimately expand to the greater Bay Area and see more kids get to benefit just puts a smile on my face and warms my heart!” – Coach Erika
With a gift of your support, we can fund our existing programs! And, with your continued support, we hope to fund the dreams of our athletes with the addition of programs to the East Bay, in Oakland and maybe even one day soon, north to San Raphael and Marin and south to San Mateo & Palo Alto to serve more families in more neighborhoods.
Please make a gift today to KEEN San Francisco.
Regards,
Ayesha Williamson, Executive Director
