Interview Transcript:
Jackie Morreale (00:00)
Hello and welcome to Wisdom for Wannabes, the podcast that seeks to find wise words in business, beauty and betterment. I am the host, Jackie Morreale.
This week's episode is especially meaningful. We're participating in Podcasthon, a global initiative where more than 2,800 podcasts around the world dedicate an episode to raising awareness for charities and nonprofit organizations that they believe in.
Our choice was an easy one. Today, we're highlighting the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation.
The Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation was created in memory of our brother Kenny, who passed away from sarcoma cancer in 2006. What started to honor his life has grown into something powerful.
Over the past 20 years, the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation has raised more than $100,000 for sarcoma cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, one of the world's leading cancer center institutions.
Leading this mission is someone who knew Kenny not just as a cause, but as a brother. Welcome to the show, Kevin Pribil! Great to have you.
Kevin Pribil (01:08)
Thanks for having me.
Jackie Morreale (01:09)
Kevin Pribil serves as volunteer president of the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation's board. In his professional life, Kevin works in Sales and Service Operations Strategy, Business & Digital Transformation at Deloitte, where he helps organizations rethink how they operate, innovate, and grow in an increasingly digital world.
But beyond the corporate titles and consulting work, Kevin has spent two decades helping guide the foundation, working with family, friends, and a community to turn grief into impact. Kevin is also my brother, so I'm very excited to have him on this podcast.
This week, supporters of the foundation will even march together in Rockville Centre's St. Patrick's Day Parade, celebrating community, remembering Kenny, and continuing a legacy of generosity and hope. Later this year, we will also be hosting the annual Cocktails for Cure event. Please make sure to check out www.kenpribiljr.org or subscribe to @kenpribiljrfoundation for important updates.
One more time, Kevin Pribil, welcome to Wisdom for Wannabes! Thank you so much for being here.
Kevin Pribil (02:17)
Thanks for having me, Jacqueline.
Jackie Morreale (02:18)
Let's go right into the questions. Tell us a little bit more about your background, where you're from, and what you're passionate about? In your own words.
Kevin Pribil (02:27)
Thanks for having me, first of all. Long-time listener, first-time caller.
Hi, everyone. I’m Kevin Pribil. It’s good to be here. I am currently the volunteer president of the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation, in memory of our brother Kenny, who passed away. Life is busy nowadays. I have two little girls, one as recent as a couple of months ago. A lot of my world focuses on them and keeping them happy and healthy.
Jackie Morreale (02:49)
I'm sure that with two little girls at home, much of your passion is your family.
Is there anything work-wise or for the foundation that really lights you up?
Kevin Pribil (02:58)
There's one thing that comes to mind: my wife, Kate, always points this out to me. It's the drive to make something better and improve something. There's always that sense of, 'Can I make this more efficient or reduce the number of steps involved in a certain process?' That's probably how I got married into the consulting world. Sort of came naturally to me.
As Kenny's younger brother, I think this all started back when we were growing up. Kenny was a very philosophical thinker, but also a realist. I think he'd rather you tell it to him straight. He was very thoughtful, and that was the philosophical side of him. Before he got sick, he went to Albany and began pursuing a career in accounting and business. That's, I think, what started my desire to go that route.
I ended up going to Albany and getting that accounting degree that he couldn't finish. That was where things started, but I would say an overarching passion is how I can find better or more enjoyable experiences that people can go through themselves.
Jackie Morreale (03:52)
Having worked with you at the foundation, in our volunteer capacity, trying to do good for sarcoma research and awareness around the world, and community building. I know that you are a genius when it comes to working smarter.
Kevin Pribil (04:05)
I appreciate you saying that. I try to do my part. The world's changing around us, too. There are so many tools that are available that just a few years ago were in a beta stage or not really publicly available. The impact one person can make is much more significant nowadays. Take, for example, this podcast you own and host, along with all these great interviews. On top of your entire life and family. There's a lot going on, and you're able to make it all work.
The reason I brought that up is that last year I invested some time myself, drawing on my background in sales and service and the technology that supports it, and asked: How can I make the foundation run a little bit smoother?
We're all volunteers. It's a nonprofit, we are not profiting personally. Whatever we take throughout the year is either given as a grant or as a college scholarship. One of my goals is to determine how we can make donor dollars go further? That's the efficiency play there. Part of that is using technology to make our lives easier.
We want to make sure that there's a balanced effort supported through technology so that we can, as volunteers, make a strong impact, get people out to raise awareness, and have fun.
Jackie Morreale (05:07)
Absolutely. Before we get too far into the foundation, let's do some quick-fire questions about you, Kevin. You ready for this?
Kevin Pribil (05:13)
I'll try to use short answers to these.
Jackie Morreale (05:17)
Let's go. Favorite pizza in New York?
Kevin Pribil (05:20)
Buffalo chicken pizza from Gino's.
Jackie Morreale (05:22)
Ooh, specific, love it. Favorite place in the world?
Kevin Pribil (05:25)
I can't exactly name this place, but when I was younger, we were on a ski trip in Sestriare, Italy. I remember standing at the mountaintop as we were skiing and seeing mountains left and right. It was never-ending. It sticks in my brain.
Jackie Morreale (05:36)
Beach or mountains?
Kevin Pribil (05:37)
Mountains.
Jackie Morreale (05:38)
Based on your last answer, I figured that was the case. Favorite family tradition?
Kevin Pribil (05:41)
Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's was a good one.
Jackie Morreale (05:47)
I love that you said that, especially this week with Grandma's heavenly 100th birthday. That hits right there. Beautiful.
Kevin Pribil (05:50)
I know. A lot of memories in that house.
Jackie Morreale (05:52)
Let's take it back to light. Coffee or tea?
Kevin Pribil (05:54)
Started as neither, have been into coffee more lately.
Jackie Morreale (06:00)
Favorite book you've read recently?
Kevin Pribil (06:02)
It's probably going to be a children's book. Frog and Toad. We’re getting away from the picture books and closer to the story books. That's been a heavily requested one lately.
Jackie Morreale (06:12)
So sweet. A skill from work at Deloitte that helps you run the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation?
Kevin Pribil (06:16)
I think tech savviness. When I first started, I was a little hesitant to get my hands dirty in technology and configuration.
I had a colleague, and I'll call him out here, Chin Mah, and another, Dan Worthen. They are mentors of mine who have shown me the ropes and helped me get where I am today. One of the mottos they shared with me was, ‘It's one thing to know the business and the process and talk strategy, but if you can have in your back pocket in those conversations an understanding of the technology, its limitations, what you can actually do with some of the platforms that are available today, and how they all connect together, it's a really powerful card to play.’
Jackie Morreale (06:50)
I agree. Something people would be surprised to know about you, Kevin? Maybe a hidden talent?
Kevin Pribil (06:54)
Mom used to say, you'd have a ball in your hand at all times as a kid. You would never find me without a baseball or a soccer ball. Probably the athletic side of my life.
Another passion is something I think people would not expect is my handiness. It's kind of therapy for me. If something needs renovation, a fix, or an update, I’m in. Recently, I refinished some solid brass handles. It's a small project when the kids are asleep, but the feeling is great when they're shining on the door.
Jackie Morreale (07:19)
When the babies are asleep, most people just sleep as well, and you're polishing brass handles!
Kevin Pribil (07:24)
I know, this was a random passion project. I had seen some paint shooting off and went for it. The other thing we're probably doing is laundry and trying to catch our breath.
Jackie Morreale (07:27)
That's well deserved. I know you are super handy. And yes, you do play any kind of ball really well.
A place that you'd still love to travel?
Kevin Pribil (07:40)
I would love to go somewhere in the mountainous region of Europe. Maybe it's Austria, Switzerland, and try to stay there for an extended period of time and live like locals do. A dream of mine.
Jackie Morreale (07:50)
Slow travel.
Favorite quote or mantra, if you have one?
Kevin Pribil (07:53)
This is one that we've been saying to my eldest daughter lately. She tends to be a little shy and then opens up as the day or the activity goes on.
The quote comes from our dad, and it goes, 'Don't wait till the end of the party to start having fun.'
It's a nudge to just jump in there. Don't wait. Life’s too short.
Jackie Morreale (08:10)
That's another one that hits here, because he would have celebrated his heavenly 76th birthday just a couple of days ago.
One word you hope people associate with the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation? Or two or three?
Kevin Pribil (08:13)
Two things: Dedication and awareness.
We're a drop in the bucket at the end of the day; it's a relatively small, local foundation, but it's all about getting people together to raise awareness.
Our brother had angiosarcoma, which affects, I think the latest ratio was one in a million.
But other people have been impacted and affected by other cancers, diseases, and accidents. I try to be mindful that it could be awareness of any type of issue or hardship.

Dr. Cristina R. Antonescu, MD (center) with Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation board members (2019)
(Continued)
Jackie Morreale (08:48)
Absolutely. Despite those very rare cancer stats, we know other people who have been affected by angiosarcoma within our circles and circles extended beyond that. It's crazy how something that seems so rare in the world has hit us in different ways.
I don't think you need to downplay the amazing thing that you're doing. 20 years is a super long time to do anything, stay motivated, stay determined, and keep people aware of this special cause that you have.
Let's talk more about the foundation. For people hearing about Kenny or the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation for the first time, can you tell us more about what made him special as a person?
Kevin Pribil (09:26)
I would say he was an interesting person, and frankly, a satirical mix of serious-thoughtful and dry-funny. He and I used to prank you…
Jackie Morreale (09:36)
Pranksters!
Kevin Pribil (09:36)
Scaring you and making noises. But at the same time, he was someone who played poker at a professional level. He was a quick study. He read a number of textbooks and became an expert quickly. In poker, you have to put on that poker face and know tells. He became an expert on reading other people and being thoughtful about strategies that people are using.
Jackie Morreale (09:56)
Absolutely. I think some of those strategic genes probably passed on to you as well.
The Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation recently hit an incredible milestone: $100,000+, six figures, donated to sarcoma cancer research. What did that moment mean to you personally?
Kevin Pribil (10:13)
It was a pivotal moment. had gone through all this hard work to keep Kenny's memory alive. It started to feel like we're making progress.
Every dollar counts. Having these events, whatever the number is each year, taking time out to remember Kenny and the caring, thoughtful person he was, and everyone else at the party who has lost loved ones or friends. I think it proves that he's out there guiding us and we're still connected.
Jackie Morreale (10:39)
Why is supporting research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center so important to the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation?
Kevin Pribil (10:46)
I would be remiss if I didn't mention you charted this path for us. I believe it started with a unique research group that was tackling angiosarcoma research at Montefiore in the Bronx. You were our founder and our president for a number of years.
Jackie Morreale (11:01)
This conversation is about you!
Kevin Pribil (11:04)
It started somewhere, and you made this a reality. I think it's a testament to your entrepreneurial spirit. When I talk to you, it's a new endeavor that you're seeking out or researching. I don't know how you do it.
Jackie Morreale (11:17)
It's true, it doesn't stop.
Kevin Pribil (11:20)
But back to your question...
Jackie Morreale (11:21)
Why support the sarcoma cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center? Why that particular department?
Kevin Pribil (11:30)
We had determined through fundraising that we have a sum of monies that we intended to grant. We sought out different institutions that were doing targeted research studies in sarcoma cancers. Memorial Sloan Kettering was one of those. Where else did we look? In Texas at Anderson, in Philadelphia at CHOP, and at Montefiore in the Bronx.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, Dr. Cristina R. Antonescu, MD and her team were growing. They were laser-focused on sarcoma, with multiple studies that are truly groundbreaking: How do we tailor treatments to individual patients based on their genetic makeup? How do we help their bodies recognize cancer cells and target them appropriately?
The other thing was where we can be impactful. All these institutions have outstanding programs ongoing.
We felt that Memorial Sloan Kettering was close to home.
It was somewhere we physically went to, where we spoke with Dr. Antonescu and her research team.
We saw at the microscopic level what angiosarcoma and other sarcomas are doing to people's cells.
That connected us.
The research has continued to grow.
Jackie Morreale (12:33)
Absolutely. The other thing that I love about Sloan Kettering and supporting the research that they're doing there is that Kenny was treated there. I love that your beautiful wife, and nurse practitioner, worked there helping patients with their cancer treatments for dermatology. I love supporting an organization that has supported our family in so many ways as well.
And Dr. Antonescu, at a microscopic level, to a degree my mind cannot even comprehend, showing us how they dissect genes and identify different ways to treat patients, is just an amazing research initiative and effort for this rare cancer, which I'm very proud to support.
Kevin Pribil (13:13)
Yeah. You have this wealth of experience in the marketing world; it's hyper-personalization, but applied to medicine and science.

They were laser-focused on sarcoma, with multiple studies that are truly groundbreaking: How do we tailor treatments to individual patients based on their genetic makeup? How do we help their bodies recognize cancer cells and target them appropriately?
The other thing was where we can be impactful. All these institutions have outstanding programs ongoing.
We felt that Memorial Sloan Kettering was close to home.
It was somewhere we physically went to, where we spoke with Dr. Antonescu and her research team.
We saw at the microscopic level what angiosarcoma and other sarcomas are doing to people's cells.
That connected us.
The research has continued to grow.
Jackie Morreale (12:33)
Absolutely. The other thing that I love about Sloan Kettering and supporting the research that they're doing there is that Kenny was treated there. I love that your beautiful wife, and nurse practitioner, worked there helping patients with their cancer treatments for dermatology. I love supporting an organization that has supported our family in so many ways as well.
And Dr. Antonescu, at a microscopic level, to a degree my mind cannot even comprehend, showing us how they dissect genes and identify different ways to treat patients, is just an amazing research initiative and effort for this rare cancer, which I'm very proud to support.
Kevin Pribil (13:13)
Yeah. You have this wealth of experience in the marketing world; it's hyper-personalization, but applied to medicine and science.

(Continued)
Jackie Morreale (13:20)
We align with them because here you go, you're the innovator, you're the technology guy, the work smart guru, and that is exactly what they're doing: Customizing treatments exactly to the unique patients that have this rare cancer.
Over the past 20 years, were there any moments where you really felt that Kenny's legacy came alive through the foundation?
Kevin Pribil (13:25)
I would say many moments. We've had dozens of events and fundraisers, but there was one, more of a personal experience. I had graduated from SUNY Albany, where Kenny had been for one year before he passed away. Then I found out I was accepted to Notre Dame to pursue my master's degree. It was a moment of rejoicing and emotion.
Jackie Morreale (14:00)
The rest is history!
Kevin Pribil (14:02)
Where are we now? 10, 15 years later.
Jackie Morreale (14:19)
Exactly! Let's talk about leadership and service. You volunteer as the board president while working full-time at Deloitte. In fact, all of us who have worked for the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation are volunteers. This is something we do as a 501 (c) (3) charity; 100 % of all donations are tax deductible. What motivates you to keep doing this as a volunteer, year after year, now that we're in our 20th year?
Kevin Pribil (14:29)
There's a degree of satisfaction at the end of an event when you have a hundred-plus friends, family members, and people I've frankly never met before come together for a cause. That's probably the primary factor. It goes back to raising awareness for a good cause. The result of those efforts is the opportunity to grant money for research and present a scholarship award at the high school we all attended.
Jackie Morreale (14:53)
What leadership lessons have you learned from running a nonprofit that you've also been able to apply to your professional career?
Kevin Pribil (15:00)
There are many, but one that comes to mind is this: ‘You can't do it alone.’ I would tend to try to tackle and complete a task or a project on my own because I knew I had the skill to do it, and I could get it done. But the ability to step back, rely on others who are talented in their own ways, have them tackle parts or entire tasks and projects. We need to do it together.
I think the team approach and having confidence and comfort and the reliability of everyone around us.
A personality trait I have is a desire to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. I'm uber conscientious about people's time, especially because we're all volunteers.
Being very direct to accomplish tasks has been something I've taken to back to work as well. It goes vice versa.
Jackie Morreale (15:43)
Your ability to be hospitable has brought so many people into this foundation, into the world of sarcoma cancer awareness that wouldn’t even have known about it otherwise. You do have a great way of building teams, and putting multifaceted teams together.
Many people want to help causes but don't know where to start. What have you learned about how ordinary people can make a difference?
Kevin Pribil (16:06)
As a charity, the easiest thing to do is make a donation. That's not a plug to make a donation to the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation. Whatever foundation you're passionate about is something I would support. There's another way that people can multiply themselves, which is bringing other people from their circle into the fold.
Invite your friends, family members, and in-laws to events and introduce them to new people who are potential friends and business partners, getting more people out and raising awareness.
I think new faces might realize, hey, I was a little nervous about showing up at this event where I don't really know who's there, but I had a great time.
There's been a trend lately where folks whom I may have met a couple of times have been winning our raffle baskets and showing a bit of luck.
Newcomers are welcome.
Jackie Morreale (16:51)
Beginners luck runs strong, wow.
Kevin Pribil (16:54)
Shout out to one of our board members, Daniela Catuogno, without whom we’d be somewhere different. Her son won one of the scholarship awards years ago. We've come to know the family and thought she would be an excellent choice to join us on the Board. She's engaged, supportive and passionate. In her professional world of working in luxury retail goods, she's able to make that connection and bring items to the table. A lot of the ladies at our events are very interested in those prizes, and some of the gentlemen as well.
Jackie Morreale (17:25)
She has really brought the fundraising efforts to another level. Appreciate her efforts very much. You mentioned that Daniela Catuogno's son, Joseph Catuogno, was one of our scholarship award winners.
The Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation offers an annual scholarship for graduating seniors at South Side High School. Why is it important to support students specifically?
Kevin Pribil (17:47)
This goes back to Kenny's 'yearning for learning.'
It's supporting that drive.
It's about rewarding a student that's put in the work. Shows the ambition and drive to get to the next level. Supporting that process is the impact that we want to make.
Jackie Morreale (18:02)
You said before that Kenny started a chapter in his college education, but he wasn't able to complete the full story. You were able to complete that story and get your SUNY Albany degree in accounting and then continue for your master's.
I love that the foundation does this annually and brings in new families by supporting education at their college of choice. So many students have come forward to apply for this scholarship. It's hard every year. There are so many talented kids out there!
Kevin Pribil (18:31)
It's an impossible choice. What ends up happening is we'll announce that we're selecting one winner, and maybe up to two or even three.
This is a worthy cause, supporting these students... it's a dream.
We're at the 20th anniversary of Kenny's passing. Over that time period, we've given over 25 scholarships. Some people knew Kenny and knew the family, and others were total strangers, but the stories are all very similar in that way.
Passion and a yearning for learning, which we want to help and support.
Jackie Morreale (19:00)
When you read applications for the annual scholarship today, because I know that the annual scholarship is open at this moment in time, and kids are applying for it, what qualities remind you the most of Kenny? What qualities in the new applicants are you looking for in this scholarship?
Kevin Pribil (19:17)
There are some general criteria: involvement in the community, in school, and in work as well. Academic success and showing that desire to learn and further one's education is huge.
I've put in a little bit of work over the years to shorten the application. They can attach their resume and their report cards and everything with GPAs. That's great.
But the first thing that I personally go to in our selection process, is their short answers. I want to hear it from a student: Why am I the right person to pick?
It's also one that causes some introspection for the students.
It's one of those challenging ones that, once you grit and bear it through, I think you've learned a little more about yourself. We don't know any of these students personally.
A short answer of someone getting into their own corner and fighting for why they believe they should be selected. I think it may be a homage to Kenny, too. Give it to me straight: Why should I pick you?
Jackie Morreale (20:10)
In 17- 18-year-olds ' words: Why is this important for you to get, and why should it be important for us to pick you?
Kevin Pribil (20:12)
Yeah. You did ask, what are some qualities? Being authentic, coming from hardship, whether it's health-related or otherwise, family, job, financial, whatever it may be, experiencing a hardship and being honest about that.
Not all hardships are easily overcome or resolved, but being honest about going through that experience and what you've learned from it, and what you take forward.

Jackie Morreale (20:37)
Let's talk about the community and what we have to look forward to for 2026 and beyond. This very week on Saturday, March 21, 2026, the foundation will be participating for the very first time as one of the organizations marching in the Rockville Centre St. Patrick's Day Parade.
What does it mean to have the Rockville Centre, New York community still involved, still showing up with the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation after 20 years?
Kevin Pribil (21:03)
The community is strong. People are really desiring to get out there and get together for a cause.
I'll shout out the couple groups of people here.
My Natador crew, my men's adult softball league team members.
Jackie Morreale (21:18)
Your ball player friends, still showing up every time we get together for the foundation.
Kevin Pribil (21:22)
Exactly. And new team members too. Our circle is growing. Our captain, John Halley, and Joe Dinelli, come to mind. They’ve been to all of our events. Always great supporters.
As well as my new neighbor group, we call ourselves the 'Best Minster' crew. I have a great time with our neighbors; it’s a lot of fun at events. They've been uber supportive as well, attending our Cocktails for a Cure event.
I'll shout out the Sciortino family for helping us secure event tickets and game tickets and memorabilia.
I am very fortunate to have a great friend group and a very caring neighbor group, too.
Jackie Morreale (21:53)
If Kenny could see the impact that the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation has made, what do you think he'd say?
Kevin Pribil (21:59)
I think he'd probably ask if he could take whatever's in the bank and go to Las Vegas and play a round of poker. I would probably say we can't do that. He would come back with, ‘Well, if I lose it all, I'll just write you a check.’
Jackie Morreale (22:03)
Exactly! In loving memory of Kenny and all his amazing skill sets.
Kevin Pribil (22:11)
A big winner, yep.
I've shared some of his qualities.
He had a caring that was at another level.
Wise beyond his years.
When he was receiving treatment and not doing well, something changed in him to the point that, despite all the drama and the stress around him, he was able to just say: Enough.
None of this is important. We're all here together. Let's enjoy it.
It was a great quality that he had.
Jackie Morreale (22:40)
Shout out to his friends, who, like yours, were there through thick and thin to the end. Celebrating his 18th birthday at Memorial Sloan Kettering while he was getting treatment. Many of them now participate in all our events.
You guys had that in common. This magnetism of bringing people together.
What goals or dreams do you have for the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation's future?
Kevin Pribil (23:02)
The lofty goal is to cure cancer. Advancements are being made. It's so important to keep investing in institutions like Memorial Sloan Kettering so they can do their work. They can go to work and have the funds to buy the tools and equipment and pay the salaries of the expert research folks who are doing all this.
It's an investment for our futures, theoretically. For ourselves, our kids, our friends.
That is the Holy Grail that we're seeking to achieve, one small bite at a time.
How do we get there? Consistent steady growth each year.
Our Cocktails for a Cure event has been growing year after year, in terms of the number of people attending, raffles, and things that are available to win.
Local businesses that are participating and supporting the foundation are growing.
We want to keep growing in that upward direction. Not just monetarily, awareness is super important to us, and getting out for a fun time and a good cause.
Jackie Morreale (23:54)
You mentioned supporting some of the physical things that the researchers need in the research team.
Just want to give a shout out to Mary Reed Holman, who's been our liaison to the team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and facilitated many amazing things, so that we were able to see the research that we were supporting and also be supported by Memorial Sloan Kettering in having our fundraising events.
It has been a nice partnership over the years.
Kevin Pribil (24:20)
That has been.
Jackie Morreale (24:21)
For anyone listening who wants to support the mission of the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation, what is the best way to get involved?
Kevin Pribil (24:29)
The most timely way would be to join us on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Rockville Centre St. Patrick's Parade, whether you're attending or would like to join us in a march.
We should have a good crew there to show our support and presence in the community. Beyond that, anyone is welcome to make a donation at any time they'd like.
Later in the year, we'll have our annual Cocktails for a Cure event. Come join us! Not a requirement but you can help out if you'd like.
If you're a business owner or have a connection or something that you feel might be desirable for raffle or auction purposes, get in contact with us.
Our website, https://www.kenpribiljr.org/contact-us, has all the information you need to email or get in touch with us. We'd love to work with you.
Jackie Morreale (25:05)
What's next for you, Kevin Pribil?
Kevin Pribil (25:07)
I'll be heading back to work full-time soon. We'll be operating the foundation, gearing up for our events later in the year.
I want to close with a shout-out to my colleagues, Kirti Nainani and Abhishek Chatterji. They've given me a really great opportunity to step away and be with the family.
We've been through thick and thin together, Abhishek, Kirti, and many others from our team.
Jackie Morreale (25:25)
Thank you so much for being here, Kevin. Thank you so much for sharing the Ken Pribil Jr. Foundation. It's 20 years strong. The fact that you're present and an integral part of the community is why this organization is as successful as it is. Thank you for all that you do.
Kevin Pribil (25:41)
Thanks for saying that. I just try to play my part and create an environment where everyone can get together, flourish, and have fun.
Jackie Morreale (25:49)
Take care, Kevin. Thank you so much. Bye.
Kevin Pribil (25:49)
Sounds good. All right, no problem. Bye.
