“We want to provide them with an environment where they can just play and be kids,” Harrison says.
According to Harrison, the organization also provides parents with a rest period while their children enjoy free, noncompetitive athletic programs tailored to each child’s needs, and a volunteer is always available to help if needed.
“Parents know we’re going to take really good care of their kids at our sessions,” she says. “We understand that for the rest of the day, week, and month they are with this child. So we also want to give them time to run errands, have a date with their husband, or even take a nap on the sideline and not have to worry about how things are going with their child.”
The newly formed partnership between KEEN New York and Turbana is still in the planning phase. “Turbana really wants to be involved in making our dream, what ever it is, a reality,” Harrison says. “We’re going to start working on the logistics of what would make the most sense and how we can get the most people involved.”
“Turbana is thrilled to be partnering with KEEN New York,” says Marion Tabard, marketing director for Turbana. “KEEN New York is a beautiful organization whose values perfectly align with Turbana’s and we are looking forward to creating a program that is going to grow smiles and share goodness among Keen’s community.”
