“Do what makes your heart sing.”

It was more than advice from our founder, Dr. Pearse Lyons — it was a way of life.

For more than two decades, the Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition has helped young artists pursue their passion, step onto the stage and find their voice. In a world where arts funding is becoming more scarce, this program is a reminder that talent deserves opportunity — and dreams deserve support.

From nervous first notes to standing ovations, these students embody courage, discipline and joy. And joy is powerful. It fuels excellence. It sustains purpose. It changes lives.

Alltech's founder, Dr. Pearse Lyons, often said, “Do what makes your heart sing.” While his heart was rooted in innovation and entrepreneurship, it was also deeply connected to music.

Since 2006, the Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition has awarded more than $12 million in scholarships and prizes, helping over 200 students pursue an education in the operatic arts and share their talent with communities around the world.

This impact wouldn’t be possible without the continued generosity and dedication of the Pearse Lyons ACE Foundation.

You can make a difference in the lives of these talented students by donating to the Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition through the Pearse Lyons ACE Foundation.

Or take your impact a step further by joining our 2026K Charitable Challenge — an inclusive, flexible and fun way to connect with our global community. Participants track “push-up equivalent” points through a variety of exercises, working toward the goal of 26,000 points via our interactive dashboard and exclusive WhatsApp group.

The 2026K Charitable Challenge is live.

This year, we’re moving together — your way.

In 2025, the 2025K Charitable Challenge brought our global community together in a powerful way. More than 80 challengers logged 1.3 million push-ups and helped raise over $100,000 for the Pearse Lyons ACE Foundation — proving what’s possible when we move with purpose.

Building on that momentum, the 2026 challenge introduces a new points-based dashboard, allowing you to work toward 26,000 push-up–equivalent points using a wide range of exercises. The result: a more inclusive, flexible and fun way for everyone to participate, no matter where you’re starting from.

Along the way, you’ll unlock badges, climb the leaderboard and continue supporting the Pearse Lyons ACE Foundation — investing in communities, agriculture and education around the world.

👉 Join now by making a donation of $26 (or more): https://donate.pearselyonsace.org/campaign/758458/donate

Let’s make a difference together in 2026.
