"We believe in shouldering a larger responsibility and seizing direct opportunities to give back. At Keenan, our employees are committed to helping others through time, money, energy, or all three."

The event was held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, where the Keenan team demonstrated their unwavering support every step of the way. Additionally, Keenan employees generously sponsored Team Keenan and individual walkers by making online donations.
Through the collective efforts of Keenan employees, leadership, and a health carrier partner, Keenan raised an outstanding amount of $20,000.
