Silverton Mortgage and Kyle Pease Foundation are race ready
“We are excited to provide opportunities for in-chair athletes and their families to participate in events such as the Boston Marathon®, New York City Marathon®, Ironmans® and other big races.” – Josh Moffitt, CEO and founder of Silverton Mortgage.
ATLANTA (PRWEB)
March 30, 2023
Silverton Mortgage, a leading direct residential mortgage lender, announced a corporate sponsorship of the Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF), a non-profit that provides opportunities for people with disabilities to experience participating in athletic events, enriching their lives and those who support them.
Founded in 2011 by brothers Kyle & Brent Pease, KPF provides scholarships, purchases medical or adaptive sports equipment, and participates in educational programs to create awareness of Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities. From local 5Ks to the Ironman World Championships®, KPF has assisted 100+ unique athletes cross over 3600 finish lines nationwide.
Silverton will be a KPF Family Partner for the next two years, supporting two in-chair athletes each year in achieving their dreams of competing in a high-profile race. This sponsorship will be used to fund the expenses normally incurred by the athletes and their families when preparing and competing.
“Entry fees, travel expenses, training races, etc., can be prohibitors to participation,” shared Josh Moffitt, CEO and founder of Silverton Mortgage. “We are excited to provide opportunities for in-chair athletes and their families to participate in events such as the Boston Marathon®, New York City Marathon®, Ironmans® and other big races.”
“Silverton has been an avid supporter of the foundation for several years, from volunteering with KPF to racing with us and creating real change in the lives of KPF Athletes,” shared Executive Director, Brent Pease. “We are thrilled to take the relationship to the next level, as Silverton becomes a sponsor at the Family Partner Level. Creating and supporting opportunities for the families behind the athletes and giving them an experience that would not be possible without our friends at Silverton.”
Moffitt was first introduced to KPF several years ago while running the Publix® Atlanta Half Marathon when he passed one of their push teams on the course.
“I saw that the race chair had KPease logos, so afterward, I went home and looked them up. I was impressed with the foundation’s purpose and mission, and I decided to volunteer as a push assist runner with a friend for the following year’s half marathon,” shared Moffitt.
Silverton’s mission has always included a strong commitment to supporting its communities and giving back. The company established The Silverton Foundation in 2012 and has since provided more than 120 years’ worth of mortgage and rent payment assistance to families with sick children who have been hospitalized or who are receiving ongoing chronic or critical care treatments. Silverton also offers Volunteer Time Off (VTO) hours, an initiative that started at parent company Clayton®, to encourage Team Members to volunteer with organizations such as Kyle Pease Foundation and others that resonate with them.
When asked about the reasoning behind the decision to support KPF, Moffit said, “At Silverton Mortgage, we believe that success without sharing is failure. The KPF mission fits with our goal of enriching the lives of team members, communities and clients and specifically focuses on our priority for diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. It’s a true joy to help provide opportunities and unique ways for people to feel connected and included.”
