The Kyle Pease Foundation has been on my radar for a very long time as a Georgia native and as someone who notices when a nonprofit is just doing it right. Because of this, I’m so excited to have Zach Watson, the Operations Manager at the Kyle Pease Foundation with me today on the podcast. The purpose of the Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF) is to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities through sports and beyond. Throughout our conversation, Zach shares the incredible work they do to empower individuals with disabilities through endurance sports, offering opportunities from 5Ks to Ironman Triathlons. Zach also highlights the sense of community and inclusivity the foundation fosters and why this is the core of all of their programming success. This conversation was a powerful testament to the transformative power of sports and community.
Topics:

• The dynamic between brothers Brent and Kyle Pease as executive directors and co-workers especially as the business has grown nationwide
• The events that the Kyle Pease foundation is known for and how they’ve introduced more inclusivity to sports, fundraising, and more
• How Zach’s own lived experience has changed since he’s become The Operations Manager at the Kyle Pease Foundation and become really immersed in the mission
• More about the foundation’s ambassador program and how they’ve grown it to be the successful peer fundraiser program that it is today
• Underscoring the importance of partnerships (and the middle person) to connecting your community with your organization
• The retention plan that the foundation uses in order to ensure continued involvement from athletes, partners, and ambassadors
• How the foundation is supporting individuals with disabilities after they graduate and what’s coming up as far as events and campaigns
• Zach’s advice for anyone who is looking to get into the athletic event fundraising space
