GEAR UP NEW YORK 2027

Starting in 2026, more than 40 Pi Kappa Phi men cross New York together each year, championing inclusion for people with disabilities.

Each year, the team raises more than $100,000 to fund life‑changing programs through The Ability Experience and to amplify voices that too often go unheard.

Over an energizing week-long, statewide journey, participants visit local communities, disability service providers and friends across New York, sparking conversations, building relationships and inviting everyone to see ability first. 

Team members gain perspective and learn lessons that will impact them for the rest of their lives, and the organizations we visit look forward to us coming back year after year! This journey is about service beyond self and the men of Pi Kappa Phi have been dedicated to fulfilling its mission, one mile at a time.
