After Spotlight Feature, Keay Advocates for Investing in Personal Growth and Local Causes
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2025 / Serial entrepreneur and investor Aaron Keay is encouraging others to shift their focus toward personal well-being, community giving, and meaningful business ventures. Following his recent feature article, “Aaron Keay: The Entrepreneur Who Turns Ideas Into Reality,” Keay is speaking out about the importance of finding purpose beyond profit.
“Success isn’t just about building companies,” Keay says in the interview. “It’s about building people, too.”
With a career that has spanned professional sports, corporate finance, and investments in billion-dollar industries, Keay knows the value of hard work and discipline. But he’s now urging others to prioritize something else: giving back and personal health.
Keay Pushes for Community Action & Fitness Participation
Keay highlights two key causes that have shaped his journey-youth development and fitness accessibility.
1. Youth Empowerment
Keay has long supported organizations like Kidsafe and has personally funded scholarships for student-athletes. He stresses how crucial it is to create opportunities for young people, especially those from underserved communities.
“I know what it’s like to need a hand when you’re chasing your dreams,” he says. “It’s not about writing a big cheque. It’s about showing up, offering time, and creating pathways for others. Sounds really cliche – but who has not needed a door opened for them along their path to success – I know I did.”
According to the World Health Organization, youth sports participation reduces risks of depression by 40% and increases academic performance by up to 20%. Keay believes this is an area where anyone can make a difference.
2. Fitness as a Lifeline
Keay also advocates for greater fitness access. His latest venture, Kommunity Fitness, reflects his passion for building welcoming, accessible spaces for physical activity.
“Fitness changed my life,” Keay says. “It’s not just about how you look-it’s about how you feel and think. It’s where confidence starts, but also connections with people. The relationships I made as a personal trainer in my early 20’s have stuck with me for 25+ years in some cases. The commonality – Fitness, Performance, Athletics and Sport.”
Physical inactivity is responsible for over 5 million deaths globally each year (WHO). Yet many communities still lack accessible fitness options.
Keay hopes others will embrace fitness as a personal and social priority-whether through local gyms, walking groups, or simply encouraging healthy habits at home.
Supporting Stories & Simple Steps
The article also highlights Keay’s quiet philanthropy-including helping a former teammate battle cancer and ongoing donations to Music Heals and the Canadian Cancer Society.
“It’s never about headlines,” Keay says. “It’s about people helping people.”
Keay’s message is simple: Start small, but start now.

“Everyone has something to give,” Keay says. “It doesn’t have to be money. It could be time, advice, or just showing up”
