Our Mission

The nationally recognized Keenan's Kids Foundation was formed in 1993 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with three separate missions: charity, community awareness and child advocacy.  Our mission is not to provide grants to other non-profit organizations or outside activities, but rather to use our own funds to maintain a multitude of projects within the area of child advocacy.  With one extraordinary exception, the Keenan’s Kids Foundation has never, and will never, engage in fundraising.
 

 

Charity

At Keenan's Kids Foundation, we work to improve the daily lives and the future of children. Through clothing drives, feeding the homeless, children’s events and fundraisers like the Murphy House Project and Stars of the South, KKF strives to meet the needs of our community’s children and promote their well-being.

 
 

 

Community Awareness

For over 17 years, Keenan’s Kids Foundation has been dedicated to informing the public about child safety hazards and working to reduce those hazards, as well as advocating for the needs of at-risk children within the legal community. Our press conferences and media campaigns, ethics speeches and the annual Law School Competition inform and advance the work of those who act on behalf of children.

 
 

 

Child Advocacy

The Keenan’s Kids Foundation is a premiere source for providing honest, commonsense information regarding child safety. Mr. Keenan’s book, 365 Ways to Keep Kids Safe, the Kids Safety Bulletin and the Article Syndication program all provide information to prevent child injury and promote the Foundation’s aim to inform the community on all levels.

TOP 10 DANGEROUS TOYS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Latest Consumer Product Safety Commission Report on Toy Safety Indicates a 33% Increase In Toy Related Deaths in Past Year
 

ATLANTA, GA — According to the latest Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report on Toy Safety, there have been 17 toy related deaths of children younger than 15 this past year.  This number marks a 33% increase, or 5 more deaths than the previous year.  The Keenan’s Kids Foundation, an organization dedicated to child safety for over 18 years, has identified 10 potentially hazardous toys that represent a variety of dangers many parents may be unaware of. The foundation will announce this list Tuesday, December 6th in the hopes that parents will learn what general types of toys to avoid this holiday season.

While the both the CPSC Modernization Act and the new CPSC OnSafety.com website increased public awareness on toy safety, some toys that have failed new standards are still available to the consumer. The Foundation has found several toys that do not meet these new rules and will have them on display during the press conference Tuesday, December 6th 2011 from 12pm – 5pm at the Keenan Building in downtown Atlanta. Toys on this year’s list include those made by major manufacturers, recent toy recalls by the CPSC and cover examples of dangerous hazards like strangulation, choking, laceration and more.
