THE ATHLETE ASSISTANCE GRANT
In 2020 when the pandemic brought our world to a halt, The Kyle Pease Foundation sprung into action in support of any and all immediate needs of our In-Chair Athletes and their families.
Since then, The Athlete Assistance Grant has provided over $1,000 annually and is available to any KPF In-Chair Athlete who has participated in a KPF event. The purpose of this grant is to provide temporary financial assistance for groceries, rent relief and any other necessities for our In-Chair Athletes and their families.
Each application will be reviewed on an individual basis, and athletes are permitted to apply and receive this grant more than once.
