With 25 events on the calendar this year, we have an opportunity to cross more than 1000 finish lines together this year. As we reset each year, this is a fun time for KPF. While we are always planning for the year ahead, the first objective is fundraising as we continue to create inclusive opportunities to best serve the athletes & families of KPF. After all, that - inclusion - is what keeps our wheels turning.
We certainly hope you will consider joining us this year. So many always say soon, but why not just say NOW! Last year, 92 families joined KPF, pushing us closer to a long-term goal of serving more than 100 families. This year we hope to help make this possible. Implementing a plan, we have poured a tremendous amount of energy into outreach to create inclusion through sports and spreading the word.
The foundation has continued to grow, attaining 5 inclusive employees. But, we are continuing to seek ways to assist more families beyond the finish. Currently, we are planning to go back to the Big Island in 2024, which we will use as a platform to fund employment opportunities for KPF’s inclusive staff. To raise $600,000 going towards expanding personnel, Kyle and I will race with board members: Steve Barth, Greg Smith & Jason. In addition, many individuals with disabilities are restricted in the asset. We hope to establish a fund that can provide employees support when it’s time for them to take the next step after a career.
KPF is more than just our mission, it is a family, a group of individuals that are all running towards the same goal. Inclusion.
Thank you for helping us raise more than $6 million dollars, thank you for helping us cross more than 5000 finish lines and for allowing us all to see our possible. As Kyle likes to say, "Where there is a wheel, there is a way!"
Will you help us Push Beyond our limits in 2023?
Thank you,
Brent Pease, Executive Director
