Our Mission
Improve the lives of people with disabilities through sports.
Our Vision
To create opportunities of inclusion for every person with a disability.
How we do it
Programs may include scholarship opportunities, purchasing of medical equipment or adaptive sports equipment for others or contributing to other organizations that provide similar assistance to disabled persons as well as participating in educational campaigns to create awareness about Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities.
The Kyle Pease Foundation will provide these services directly to individuals, as well as to partner with other existing non-profit organizations, to achieve these goals. Direct benefits will be limited to persons with disabilities who need adaptive sports equipment, mobility devices or medical care.
Why It Matters
It isn’t about the race shirt or medal. Research has shown that an in-chair athlete experiences the same rush of endorphins their push-assist athlete does. More significant is that they and their families get to be like everyone else for a moment! Parents and loved ones get to cheer on their athlete just like everyone else. In-chair athletes get to say, “I did that!” KPF provides a sense of normalcy for those moments that these families do not get anywhere else as well as additional social networking opportunities that families with disabilities often struggle to find.
Our Story
The Kyle Pease Foundation was founded in 2011 by brothers Kyle & Brent Pease upon completion of their first triathlon in April of that year. Kyle wanted to share the experience of inclusion with others, so the idea of KPF was born. After a few months of work, the group received their IRS determination as a 501(c)3 not for profit organization, and off they went. In March of 2012 they supported their first athlete and the brothers, and the organization has continued to grow since then.
