DENVER (June 16, 2023) – CoPeace, a public benefit corporation and impact investment company that supports companies through investment and support services, and the third half, the world’s first public benefit corporation to combine travel, soccer and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, announced a strategic partnership today to use the power of sports to tackle social issues and improve lives.

CoPeace will be providing the third half with a variety of fractional and interim CEO/COO/CFO/CMO services, as needed. In addition, CoPeace will retain an option to make an equity investment in the third half during the one-year term of the initial partnership agreement.

“We have been wanting to work with the third half team for a long time,” said Craig Jonas, CoPeace CEO. “Our missions and backgrounds are completely aligned – you can’t help but experience life-changing impact when young athletes are immersed in each other’s culture. Our intention to work together with the third half as part of CoPeace Sport, for the long haul.”
