KEEN's mission is to foster the self-esteem, confidence, skills and talents of its athletes through non-competitive activities, allowing young people facing even the most significant challenges to meet their individual goals. *KEEN San Francisco appears on MTV's MADE* !** Thanks to our friends at Global Giving, KEEN San Francisco was selected to participate in MTV's MADE, "Giving Back" episode segments, presented by Neutrogena's "Wave For Change" promotion. Made star Mikala McGhee and her dad, Doug, joined KEEN San Francisco at the annual Summer Picnic & Games, at Crissy Field in San Francisco on July 25th and were MADE into KEEN Coaches. KEEN San Francisco wishes to thank the Kloepfer family, Global Giving, MTV and Neutrogena for an incredible opportunity! And, Coach Mikala hopes this will encourage more high school students to look beyond the graduation requirements and find their own organizations like KEEN - because it has forever changed the way she feels about "giving back" and as she posted on Facebook - she can't wait to come back!
