US Mortgage Lender Launches Keep Climbing Foundation, A Nonprofit Raising Funds for Children Battling Cancer and for U.S. Veterans
ST. LOUIS, April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Louis-based business The Home Loan Expert, one of the nation's fastest growing mortgage companies, is launching Keep Climbing Foundation, an independent nonprofit aiming to serve children with severe illnesses and U.S. Veterans.
Keep Climbing Foundation's first initiative and fundraiser, Climb for the Kids 2021, is well underway, with a radiothon scheduled to take place in the St. Louis metropolitan area on April 28-29, 2021.
Climb for the Kids was started in 2015 by Ryan Kelley, founder and CEO of the Home Loan Expert (THLE) to bring attention to the lack of adequate federal funding for childhood cancer research. This year's climb marks the 7th annual Climb event but the first taking place under the Foundation. Climb for the Kids' two most recent events in 2019 and 2020 raised more than $100,000 for charitable partners. This year's fundraising goal is $150,000?the program's most ambitious goal yet.
"This year, the summit isn't the finish line," said Kelley. "With the Foundation, it's just the beginning."
The climb itself will take place May 15-21, 2021 in the Alaska Range, and will serve as an opportunity for climbers to raise awareness for the Foundation's causes. As in years past, it is sponsored and underwritten by THLE, allowing for 100% of donations to go entirely to charitable causes. THLE is also announcing a Foundation donation match program for its employees of up to $2,500 per employee, per year.
