Welcome To The Keane Foundation Website
The Richard M. Keane Foundation was established to create a 9/11 Memorial Sports Center in the Wethersfield community. Richard Keane and two other Wethersfield men died in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. A Sports Center in their memory is a positive and wonderful way to commemorate life’s happy events, as well as to remember lives lost.
The purpose of the Foundation in collaboration with the Town of Wethersfield, is to provide a safe and fun environment in which youth can come together to participate in athletic, academic, and social programs with the support and guidance of caring adults.
A Message From The Keane Foundation President
A Message from the Keane Foundation President
As we watch the news and the projections of the Corona Virus Pandemic over the next 2-3 months, we have decided to cancel the upcoming 2020 programs. This will still not be a time to gather in groups!
This is a difficult decision. Please watch for more to come on the Keane Foundation FaceBook page and on the Keane Foundation website www.keanefoundation.org.
This is a difficult time for everyone, but especially for our school-aged children who now have to learn in new and different ways. And of course, they no longer have the fun of the Keane on Kids After School Enrichment Programs! Take the time to call family and friends, and perhaps use some of the new videoconferencing tools to keep in touch.
Please also remember those who are not as secure in food and learning and try to help them out with a donation or a kind word. Donate online, with a check or items to the Wethersfield Food Bank at https://wethersfieldct.gov/social. Visit this link to make a donation or to choose the most needed foods.
Stay safe! We are thinking of every one of you! See You Soon!!!!
The Richard M. Keane Foundation Board of Directors
I am grateful for all that you do!

Keane on Kids After School Enrichment Programs 2020-2021 *Postponed
The Keane on Kids After School Enrichment program is on hold at this time.
We have enjoyed past overwhelming success filled with inspiring and enriching programs.
We continue to be committed to working together with the school district, the town, families, and enrichment educators to deliver quality after school programming for our children. We will communicate when we have the approval to open sessions again. We need to be absolutely sure we are implementing best practices and following all safety guidelines when we do return.
As virtual programs do become available notifications will come from Wethersfield Parks and Recreation and on FaceBook.
Caroline Fazzina, Director Keane on Kids After School Enrichment Program
The program is supported by the Keane Foundation and the Parks and Recreation Department.
