“We exist to raise & distribute funds for causes in line with the values and beliefs of our namesake”

Earplugs can make a crowded stadium more manageable.

Smaller indoor venues have become more difficult. Sometimes the better adjustment is staying home and watching the game on television.

And, as the National Council of Dementia Minds men’s group points out, television has some advantages for folks living with dementia:

Pause the game.
Go get more popcorn.
Replay the call—and confirm that it was, in fact, a bad one.

The Kas Ioane Foundation and National Council of Dementia Minds are exploring a virtual screening of the full film, followed by a live conversation with members of the Minds Matter group.

Would you attend? Could an NCDM group benefit someone you love? Might you or someone you know be interested in volunteering?

Going to a sporting event can require much more planning after a dementia diagnosis.

In this clip, a member of the men’s group explains why he needs someone to accompany him—even when he simply leaves his seat to use the restroom.

A circular stadium can become disorienting. A forgotten ticket can make it difficult for someone to help him find his section. Stairs and bleachers now create balance concerns.

These are not reasons to speak for him or decide for him what he should stop doing.

They are reasons to listen when he explains what participation now requires.

That is one of the things our partners at the National Council of Dementia Minds do so well. Their work centers the voices of people living with dementia: not only what others believe they need, but what they say they experience, value and want.

“Don’t stop. Just adjust.”
After his dementia diagnosis, losing track of his golf ball began slowing down play and making it harder to keep golfing with other people.
Then his speech therapist offered one small adjustment: tee off last.
Instead of trying to remember which of four balls was his, he now watches only his own shot and starts walking toward it immediately.
“And because of that, I’m able to go back golfing.”

This is the kind of voice the National Council of Dementia Minds centers: people living with dementia explaining what has changed, what helps and how they continue finding pathways back to the things they love.

The Kas Ioane Foundation supports NCDM because those voices deserve to be heard—and because someone watching may recognize an adjustment that could help a person they love.

One of the greatest gifts of the Kas Ioane Foundation is that we’re not limited to making an impact one weekend each year.

Some months, that means helping provide meals for Positive Masculinity Clubs throughout the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest—creating space for young men to gather, connect, and have conversations that matter.

Other times, it means supporting organizations like Dementia Minds as they care for individuals and families navigating one of life’s most difficult journeys.

Those missions may look different on the surface.

To us, they’re connected by the same belief: communities become stronger when we invest in people.

Thank you for helping us continue that work—every month of the year.

For many people, the Kas Ioane Foundation is synonymous with our annual golf tournament.

And we understand why. It’s our biggest event.

But the tournament has never been the destination.

It’s been the vehicle.

Because of the generosity of golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and donors, we’ve awarded more than $10,000 in Launchpad Scholarships to students taking their next step after high school.

That’s the part we want people to know.

Not because the number is the point.

Because every scholarship represents a student who was reminded that someone believes in them.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make those moments possible.

This is why we do what we do.

What’s Actually Changing with the KIF?

Not our Mission. Our story telling. We’re not just a single golf tourney. We’re striving for year around impact with the causes we care about.

If the mission of the Kas Ioane Foundation has impacted you or your family, we’d be honored if you’d share this post to your story or send it to someone who should know about the work we’re doing.

For four years, most people have known us because of a golf tournament. And we’re incredibly proud of that.

But recently, our board realized something.

We’ve been doing the work of a year-round foundation while telling the story of a golf tournament.

Scholarships.

Community partnerships.

Family support.

Opportunities to say “yes” when our community needed us.

None of that was new.

We just hadn’t told that story very well.

Today, our website finally reflects the Foundation we’ve already become.

We’d love for you to take a look (link in bio)

Being able to write donation checks to our partners is ONLY POSSIBLE because of both the players, the volunteers and our SPONSORS!

Thank you to everyone who made the 4th Annual KIF another rousing success.
