The Chase Life Foundation Mission Statement 

To forge a brighter future by championing individuals and organizations that reflect the values of Chase Gage: dedication, leadership, scholarship, entrepreneurship, and camaraderie.

About the Chase Life Foundation

Established in memory of Chase Gage, a gifted scholar and athlete whose life was cut short at age 19, the Chase Life Foundation dedicates itself to nurturing the potential of individuals and groups who aspire to make a positive impact. With the support of generous donors, we offer scholarships, fund projects for local and national organizations, and provide assistance to those in need.

Our educational initiatives include the Chase Life curriculum, adopted by local schools to teach students valuable skills in goal setting, mindfulness, and community contribution. Students engage in activities that enrich the lives of others, serve as ambassadors in their schools and neighborhoods, and learn to set ambitious personal goals.

Each June, on Chase's birthday, we host The Chase Run. This event, formerly held in-person in Columbus, Ohio but now held virtually on a global scale, is our primary fundraiser which unites community members in a celebration of life, friendship, and collective endeavor. Participants are encouraged to run, walk, bike, travel, explore, laugh, play or otherwise to honor Chase’s legacy. Details are released on an annual basis to connect all participants virtually.

The Chase Life message is also spread globally through our branded apparel and gear. Recognizable worldwide, the Chase Life logo symbolizes a commitment to advancing through life with optimism and strength.
