What an incredible year of The Jake! On behalf of Scott and Amy Vinson, The Kyle Pease Foundation, and The Jake 2022 golf committee, we cannot thank you enough for your support and generosity to further fuel The Jake Vinson Family Grant.
Parker Miles joined The Kyle Pease Foundation as a Summer Intern starting in June. He is a rising Senior at Holy Innocents Episcopal School in Atlanta, GA. At school, Parker is involved on with track and the golf team.
How did You Get Involved with KPF:
In early 8th grade, I participated in a 5K race where upon winning, I met Brent and Kyle and learned all about the Foundation. They told me there were many wheelchair athletes my age who wanted to compete and win just as much as I did and I immediately jumped on board.
I raced several races in 8th grade with the Foundation and started a club at my school in 9th grade called “Wheeling with the Bears” which was designed to raise awareness about The Kyle Pease foundation in my school community. Additionally, it gives many people in my school opportunities to race and connects with many athletes from KPF.

In My Wheels Vlog Series Featuring Natalie Gomez.
Since KPF started in 2011, we have dreamed of a world where inclusiveness is the norm, and we’ve created a team and environment where employing people with disabilities is part of our everyday culture. As of today, we employ four individuals with disabilities who support our daily operations and are continuing the efforts of The Kyle Pease Foundation.
Kevin Enners works with the Marketing and Communications team to produce blog and video content for the Foundation. Kevin's current project is launching a Vlog Series titled "In My Wheels" where he features KPF Athletes. Stay tuned for his first Vlog on July 12th.
Our Partners at Lucie Content put together this short video showing the behind-the-scenes of what it takes for Kevin to do his job daily and support KPF.
With the addition of a Vlog series, Kevin’s determination to work within the limitations of available Windows-based video production software that works in conjunction with his eye-gaze software has been put to the test. It’s not as simple as picking up a phone to record video and edit footage.
As an individual with disabilities, Kevin faces challenges but is able to overcome obstacles to produce content to support the KPF's mission and help raise awareness.
