The Keystone State Games, modeled after the Olympic Games, are annually held multi-sport competitions providing Pennsylvania's amateur athletes an opportunity to compete against athletes from throughout the Commonwealth in the Summer Games, Winter Sports Tournaments, and the Pennsylvania Senior Games.

The Keystone State Games are a result of a resolution by Representative Joseph R. Pitts (Chester County) and approved by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1980. Keystone State Games Inc., a nonprofit corporation, was formed in 1983 with the help of former Governor Richard Thornburgh so the Games would not be solely dependent on government funding.

The mission of the Keystone State Games is to promote physical fitness and sports activity as a health improvement and disease prevention strategy for all Pennsylvanians and to create an expanded, coordinated and citizen-sponsored program of physical fitness and amateur athletic competition.

In 2004 Shape Up Pennsylvania was introduced, a 5-month, statewide program encouraging increased physical activity and healthy eating habits through friendly team competition. The program has continued successfully over the past 4 years with over 28,700 Pennsylvanians participating. The 2008 session of Shape Up PA will be held February 6 - June 25, visit the Shape Up PA webpage to learn more!
