Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (5)
- Running and Racing Team Program which includes over 30 team runs races and practice runs throughout the year. Our average attendance increased by over 20% for each team run with nearly 70 members attending. We also increased new athlete participation those with intellectual and developmental disabilities by 10%. Which as a result means we also increased family participation by 12 members and support athlete participation increased by 18. This now puts our total athlete count near 43 and team events near 20 each team run or race. We now Arizonas largest adaptive outdoor team for running riding swimming and multisport.
- 2Gether We Live was invited to be the keynote for the City of Tempes Mayors Disabilities Awards honoring those with disabilities. With over 250 in attendance and filmed live on the local news channel the total impacted is unknown but easily in the thousands. In addition Timothy Bolen the Founder was recognized for his contribution to the diabilities community where the City of Tempe have changed the Annual Awards name to the The Tempe Mayors Timothy Bolen Disability Commission Award of Merit.
- 2Gether We Live had athlete compete in two of the countrys largest triathlon events; Ironman Tulsa and Ironman California where Patrick Canez officially earned his Ironman title by finishing within the same time standards as all able-bodied athletes. This now puts 2Gether We Live and Patrick in a very select club of Ironman finishers with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In 2025 2Gether We Live had 2 athletes competing at Ironman California for the first time to have 2 special athletes from the same organization. Board member Paul McGowan and Founder Timothy Bolen were the guides.
- In 2024 we included providing breakfast for all our families and support runners during each team run and program gatherings. With so many of our families low income providing a solid meal not only increases more participation but it also promotes more time for connections between our families and volunteers.
- Twice a year 2Gether We Live provides a trailer load of foods and goods that we donate to Nourish Arizona a nonprofit that serves the working class poor in Phoenix.
