Our Mission.

To make a positive impact on the world in Paul’s name. Paul Chaney Fitness Fundraiser strives to raise funds and build community in an environment that encourages a healthy connection with friends, family, and fitness. We’re making the world a better place for dogs and the humans who love them, just like Paul would want.

For Paul.

To his friends, Paul was a fierce protector and would show up to sit with you in your darkest hour. As a personal trainer, he took pride in helping others make positive changes in their lives. As a dog lover, he shared that same compassion and energy with any lucky pup who crossed his path. As you all know, Paul’s heart was big. He was just beginning to dream and experience his potential.

On September 12, 2022, he was killed when a negligent driver ran a yield sign at a busy Ward Parkway intersection. As a designated organ donor, Paul saved 5 lives and changed countless others. At 20 years old, Paul’s mission was to be a positive force for others. PCFF exists to continue that ripple effect.

We are proud to announce that, as of February 24, 2025, we have achieved non-profit status as a fully recognized 501(c) (3) organization. Our official recognition is The Paul Chaney Memorial Foundation, EIN: 33-3017687.
