The Event: KEEN San Francisco hosted community members, business leaders and volunteers at KEENGala, a dinner and auction event held each fall to increase awareness, raise funds and honor volunteers and organizations who have been outstanding supporters of KEEN.


Why: KEEN is a nonprofit organization that provides one-to-one recreational coaching to nearly 100 children and young adults with more profound and severe mental and physical disabilities. KEEN offers recreational programs of Sports, Basketball and swimming known as KEENquatics on weekends throughout the year. At each session a volunteer coach is paired with a KEEN athlete enabling every KEEN child and young adult to participate, regardless of the extent of their disability. Starting this fall, KEEN will expand to a new location serving more families in a new neighborhood in the San Francisco area for more young people with disabilities.

Last year, thousands were raised at KEENGala to support these programs. Proceeds from KEENGala 2011 will be used to defray the costs of the facility rentals and equipment for all of our programs and to continue to keep our programs free-of charge to the families of our athletes.
