For the third year in a row, the Moon family organized a KEEN Benefit Concert.
Most known around KEEN for volunteering with their dad, Master Moon, and helping our athletes during KEEN Tae Kwon Do, the Moon children are accomplished pianists. In December, Allison and Austin Moon gathered their equally accomplished friends and delighted everyone with an hour of classical and holiday music while spreading good cheer and raising funds for KEEN Greater DC-Baltimore. We are so honored and grateful to have the Moon family and friends as part of the KEEN family. Thank you to event organizer Allison Moon and to all the performers.

It is with a heavy heart we share the tragic news that our board member, Tom Onken, has passed away after a battle with cancer. Tom loved KEEN's mission and our community, and was a staunch advocate for children with special needs.
We are grateful to Tom for all that he accomplished for the very special children and families we serve.

On March 21, we're launching the KEEN Spring Games, a 5-week event with a list of activities to get up and away from the computer screen for a bit and be active each week.
