Pele: The Winged Spirit of Pellere

Inspired by our logo and brought to life by love and purpose, Pele is more than a mascot—he’s a gentle guide through the stories, dreams, and possibilities that the Pellere Foundation and founders flight are working to grow.

Pele – some folks say Pell-ay, others Pell-ee; he doesn’t mind, he just likes being called – came from the drawer of forgotten things. A button here, a scrap of fabric there, stitched together by someone who didn’t know what to do, only that they needed to do something. This journey, much like the mission of the Pellere Foundation, showcases the essence of founders flight, a testament to creativity arising from uncertainty.
