2019 Matching Gift Challenge


Longtime KEEN partner  Joyce Koons Honda Buick GMC is matching donations made through December 31 up to a total of $15,000.

That means any gift you make will double in value to be worth twice as much to the children, teens and young adults with disabilities we serve. 

We have raised $6,345 so far towards our goal of $15,000.  If we can raise the full amount, a total of $30,000 will go to support our programs.

The KidsEuro Festival is one of the largest performing arts festivals for children in America, bringing Europe's children entertainers to the DC metro area for free performances, concerts, workshops, movies, storytelling, puppetry, dance, magic, and cinema.
