The Kyle Please Foundation Hires Sixth Inclusive Employee in Partnership with Fire Protection Services.
The Kyle Pease Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of the disabled through sports, is proud to announce the hiring of their sixth member of their Inclusive Employment Program. Employment Partner, Fire Protection Services, is proud to have Josh Porter join their team as the Office Operations & Communications Coordinator.
"The opportunity to partner with the Kyle Pease Foundation is something we feel very fortunate about, here at FPS. Having Josh working in the office has already made a significant impact on our team. We knew how important it was to give this a try, but we had no idea how much it would positively impact our culture. Hopefully it inspires other businesses to open their doors to employees with disabilities" - Adam Heiser of Fire Protection Services.
The Kyle Pease Foundation Inclusive Employment Program was established in 2017 when our first inclusive employee, Justin Knight, approached KPF after he raced with us. He never asked us for a grant, but for an opportunity to join the front office team and help give back to his community, inspire by our founder, Kyle Pease.
“Inclusion doesn’t just take place on the racecourse. Inclusion is everywhere we look. We are proud to partner with Fire Protection Services and help extend our support Beyond the Finish with some special and wonderful people,” says Brent Pease, Executive Director of The Kyle Pease Foundation.
Currently, The Kyle Pease Foundation employs six Inclusive Employees who play a key role in our day-to-day operations at KPF.
