Kevin Partington

When Jenna and Patrick were diagnosed with cystinosis at 15 months old, Kevin and Teresa's world changed forever. In that moment, these two loving parents made a choice that would define their family's mission: they would turn their heartbreak into hope. They founded Jenna & Patrick's Foundation of Hope and committed themselves to fighting a disease that affects only about 2,000 people worldwide. Every day since, Kevin has carried that mission in his heart.

In 2024, Kevin made a choice that speaks to the depth of his love: he donated one of his kidneys to Jenna. It's an act of sacrifice that goes beyond the medical gift itself. It represents a father's unwavering commitment to his children and his refusal to accept that cystinosis defines their future. Kevin didn't hesitate. He simply knew what needed to be done.

For nearly two decades, Kevin has worked tirelessly alongside his wife and their community to fund critical research that brings us closer to a cure. Every dollar raised is a step toward a future where families like his don't have to watch their children struggle with this disease. Kevin's dedication extends to the Cystinosis Research Foundation's board, where he helps guide the work that matters most. This isn't just philanthropy for Kevin. This is family. This is hope.

When Kevin steps up to compete in the L5 Investments Capital Cup, he's not just playing for pride or competition. He's playing for Jenna and Patrick. He's playing for every family waiting for a cure. And he's inviting you to join him in that mission. Your support doesn't just raise money. It sends a message to a father and his children that their fight matters. That their hope is shared. That they are not alone.

The Capital Cup adapts the historic Ryder Cup format—steeped in tradition—to promote community pride, healthy competition, and raise money for the Sacramento region’s most deserving charities. Each year, leaders from the Sacramento region are divided into two teams for an exciting 3-day golf competition. Donors have the opportunity to support their favorite player (or their favorite charity), as each player is competing to benefit his or her favorite charitable organization. The winning team's designated charities share a prize fund of $100,000! The tournament started with the ambitious goal of raising $250,000 in its first year. When it well surpassed that goal, the tournament committee raised the bar, and has continued to do so every year since—and every year, the participating golfers exceed expectations. The Capital Cup has raised more than $20 million over its history.
