KPF is Headed Back to the TCS New York City Marathon

The Kyle Pease Foundation Selected as Official Charity Partner of the  2024 TCS New York City Marathon for
Second Year in a Row

Nine individuals, including a push-assist duo, will advocate for inclusivity and raise funds for individuals with disabilities

The Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF) is excited to announce it has been chosen as an official charity partner of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. For the second year in a row, KPF will send a group of inspiring, differently-abled athletes to continue its mission of raising awareness and changing the lives of people with disabilities as they take on the iconic race course in New York City.

"We are honored to be chosen as a charity partner for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon," said Kyle Pease, Founder & Chief Inspirational Officer of The Kyle Pease Foundation. "This opportunity allows us to showcase the incredible abilities of our athletes on a global stage while raising critical funds to support our mission of inclusion in sports and the workplace. We look forward to celebrating the achievements of our athletes as they cross the finish line in New York City."

Through our partnership with Silverton Mortgage, push-assist duo, Seirra Bennett and Eric Rusiecki, will be joined by seven race team members at this year’s TCS New York City Marathon. Race team members include Evan Pease, Max Levy, Linda Levy, Meg Weigel, Heather Bongers, Jackie Gillies and Erika Brookes. Collectively these team members will raise $25,000 for The Kyle Pease Foundation. The funds will directly support KPF's programs and services, including purchasing adaptive sports equipment, covering race entry fees, providing travel accommodations for athletes and their families, and supporting groundbreaking initiatives like KPF’s Inclusive Employment Program.

The TCS New York City Marathon, scheduled for Nov. 3, 2024, is the largest marathon in the world, attracting more than 50,000 participants from around the globe. The event provides a unique platform for KPF to engage with a diverse audience, share its story and advocate for the inclusion of athletes with disabilities in all areas of sports and recreation.
