Living Fast, Giving Back: The Story of KC Cook and The Boost Foundation
By Long Beach Golf News – Charity Spotlight Feature
From Diagnosis to Determination
KC Cook’s story begins with a life-changing diagnosis. At just one year old, he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This is a genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system. There is still no cure for it. For many, such news could have meant a life defined by limitations. But KC chose a different path.
Now in his 30s, KC has embraced a philosophy that’s as bold as it is inspiring: LIVE FAST. LIVE FULL. It’s more than a motto — it’s a way of life. Every breath is a gift, and every day is an opportunity to push boundaries.
Even as a child, KC’s love for speed and adventure was clear.
KC Cook, founder of The Boost Foundation, turns his passion for motorsports into a mission for change.
Racing Against the Odds
KC’s passion for motor sports became both his personal escape and his public platform. He has excelled as a race car driver, coach, and mentor. He’s competed at high levels. He has also used the sport to raise awareness for CF. His racing career is a living metaphor: life is a race against time, and every lap counts.
Through his work, KC has shown that CF doesn’t have to define your limits — it can define your drive.

The Boost Foundation began in Southern California. It is KC’s way of giving back to the community that has supported him. The mission is threefold:
- Educate the public about Cystic Fibrosis
- Empower those living with CF through once-in-a-lifetime motorsport experiences
- Elevate the visibility of this complex and often misunderstood disease
The foundation is a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ensuring that every donation directly fuels its programs and outreach.
Boost brings awareness to the community at the Long Beach Grand Prix.
The Boost Foundation gives children and adults with CF the chance to experience the thrill of motorsports firsthand.
Impact in Action
The Boost Foundation offers trackside meet-and-greets. Participants enjoy adrenaline-filled ride-alongs. These moments remind everyone that life is meant to be lived fully. These events aren’t just about speed; they’re about hope, connection, and visibility.
KC also works tirelessly to secure grants, host fundraising events, and partner with sponsors who share his vision. Every event is a chance to raise awareness, fund research, and inspire others to live without fear.
