Where Purpose Meets Performance: The Story Behind the Mission

At just one year old, Boost Foundation founder KC Cook was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis—a terminal, life-shortening disease that turns every breath into a battle. Now in his 30s, KC has transformed that diagnosis into fuel. As a race car driver, coach, and mentor, KC lives by a philosophy that defines both his life and this event: LIVE FAST. LIVE FULL.It is a mindset, a mission, and a refusal to let limitations dictate what is possible.

The Boost Foundation exists to give a face and a voice to the realities of Cystic Fibrosis while inspiring the world to see potential where others see barriers. Through public education, once-in-a-lifetime motorsport experiences, and direct financial support, Boost empowers individuals and families to keep moving forward boldly, passionately, and without hesitation.

A Tournament with Real Impact: The Boost Warrior Fund

Proceeds from the Full Throttle Classic directly support the Boost Warrior Fund. Founded by KC Cook, the Warrior Fund reflects his own journey growing up with a serious medical condition, facing financial hardship, and lacking the resources to chase his dreams. Today, the fund ensures that others do not face those same limitations.

The fund provides life-changing financial assistance and grants to individuals living with Cystic Fibrosis and other serious medical conditions, empowering them to stay active, build confidence, and pursue their passions through two specific grant programs:

• The LIVEFAST Grant: Supports individuals of any age seeking financial assistance to participate in motorsports.

• The LIVEFULL Grant: Designed for those pursuing physical activities outside motorsports, including competitive sports, adaptive sports, fitness programs, and other physical pursuits.

When you join us on the green, you aren't just playing a round of golf. You are helping warriors push past limitations, chase passion at full speed, and truly live.
