We’re on a mission to sponsor thousands of swimmers
We’ve supported Outdoor Afro since 2012, working together to make the outdoors more accessible and inclusive. KEEN was born on the water, so our latest collab for effect is extra close to our hearts.
Let’s reach 100,000 swimmers
Swimming is life-saving and life-enhancing for kids, because it opens up a world of water recreation at rivers, lakes, and oceans.
