About Ava & Aaron's Play It Forward Challenge

We're on a mission to play it forward!

Our goal is to raise $6,000 for KEEN Greater DC-Baltimore. 

At KEEN, young people with significant developmental and physical disabilities are paired one-on-one with volunteer coaches in free, noncompetitive programs built around each athlete's interests and abilities. They get to move, try new things, make friends, build confidence, and be celebrated for who they are.

Every $1,200 raised funds a full season for one KEEN athlete. If we reach $6,000, together we'll fund five complete seasons of play. 

Want to join our team? Please donate (any amount helps) and share this page.

Thank you for helping us create more play at KEEN!
